Manchester City are set for talks with the Football Association over James McAtee’s availability this summer amid a clash of tournaments.
McAtee is eligible to feature in the Under-21 European Championship but England’s defence of their crown coincides with the Club World Cup in the United States.
Mail Sport understands that Lee Carsley is holding discussions with City chiefs over the coming weeks to ascertain whether he can call upon the attacking midfielder.
McAtee has been integral with the Under 21s over the past two years, scoring seven goals in 18 appearances and flourishing alongside the likes of Liam Delap and Morgan Rogers.
