Chelsea youngster Levi Colwill has earned a call up to the senior setup due to an injury suffered by defender Andreas Christensen.

The Denmark international came off during the Blues' 2-1 win over Manchester City on Saturday.

Christensen has a tendon issue, and may not be fit until the Champions League final on May 29th.

According to Goal.com, Colwill will act as cover within the first team squad until Christensen is back in training.

The 18-year-old has impressed Blues' coaches during his 18 appearances in Premier League 2 with the Under-23 side.
