Archie Gray and Crysencio Summerville will play no part in this month’s international fixtures for England’s Under-19s and Netherlands Under-21s, respectively.
The pair are not carrying injuries or suspended, but instead will remain in West Yorkshire with Daniel Farke and the remainder of Leeds’ non-internationals where they will be rested from competitive action.
Summerville’s off-season saw the winger compete at the Under-21 European Championships in June and July after a full season worth of football with United, while Gray featured at the Under-17 edition of the same competition.
The Dutchman returned to pre-season training later than many of his peers, granted additional leave due to his participation at the tournament and has only recently returned from a groin injury. The decision has been taken to prioritise a period of rest, rather than featuring in the Netherlands’ fixtures against Moldova and North Macedonia’s Under-21s.
Gray, meanwhile, has featured from the start in each of Leeds’ first seven games this season, missing only a handful of minutes. He is not expected to join up with England’s Under-19 group as the club remain wary over the 17-year-old’s workload at such a developmental stage in the young midfielder’s career.
Here are the players who will be representing their nations before Leeds’ visit to Millwall in just under two weeks.
