England are backing Rhian Brewster to prove his credentials after a difficult year following a £23.5million move away from Liverpool.
Brewster broke his duck for the Under 21s with a penalty in last month’s 2-0 win over Kosovo and is expected to feature in Thursday's European Championship qualifier in Slovenia.
But the 21-year-old has yet to score a league goal in his 33 appearances for Sheffield United since joining them at the start of last season.
Brewster has been an unused sub in each of United’s last three Championship matches and Young Lions boss Lee Carsley believes time with England can offer him a new lease of life.
