Nineteen-year-old Whites Academy graduate Cresswell has enjoyed a superb September, the centre-back making his league debut when playing the full duration of last weekend's 2-1 defeat at home to Premier League visitors West Ham United.

Cresswell had already received his first call-up to the England under-21s squad and was on the bench for last month's UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifier at home to Kosovo in which Lee Carsley's young Three Lions recorded a 2-0 victory.
