Leeds United’s promotion rivals Sunderland will be without one of their brightest midfield prospects throughout November after England’s Under-17 World Cup squad was named.
The Black Cats will be without burgeoning Three Lions talent Chris Rigg, who has been named in the World Cup squad for the annual tournament, this year based in Indonesia. Rigg has made seven appearances, scoring two goals, for Tony Mowbray’s side this season but has been granted leave to represent England at the competition which was won by the likes of Phil Foden, Jadon Sancho and Emile Smith Rowe back in 2017.
The Leeds teenager is still eligible to represent England’s Under-17 group internationally, although has more recently played a central role for the Under-19s. After Daniel Farke’s comments earlier this season regarding Gray’s involvement for Leeds, in comparison to youth international fixtures, it is little surprise the teen has not been named in the World Cup squad travelling to Indonesia.
