Leeds United defender Charlie Cresswell has struggled for game time at Elland Road this season, but has once again been given the nod.

Discussing the new additions to his squad, Carsley said: “Jaden [Philogene] and Jonathan [Rowe] are both doing really well with their clubs at the minute – they’re players who are in form which is always a good position for us to be in.

“We also have Jarell Quansah in the squad for the first time. He’s been getting game time at Liverpool which as we know is a really tough team to get into for any player, so he deserves to be a part of this squad.

“Tino [Livramento] is a player we rate highly, it’s going to be good to have him back in and around the squad. He's been out for a while injured, so we’ll be looking to support him and Newcastle with that.”

There is also Yorkshire representation in the Elite Men’s League squad, formerly known as the under-20s. Leeds United duo Darko Gyabi and Mateo Joseph feature, as does Sheffield United prospect Oliver Arblaster.
