Gareth Southgate excited by Ravel Morrison

Southgate excited by Morrison

Gareth Southgate has expressed his excitement over Ravel Morrison playing for England's Under-21s.

The 20-year-old made his debut at that level last week during the Three Lions' 4-0 win over San Marino which came just a few days after West Ham United's shock 3-0 victory at Tottenham Hotspur.

England are back in action on Tuesday when they face Lithuania at Portman Road, and Southgate is looking forward to seeing Morrison return to the field.

"Well he's a different type of player to the others that we've got here. He's capable of things that are very, very different, there's no question about that, and it's exciting to watch," Southgate told reporters.

"We're a squad with lots of exciting players and I don't want to heap all of that focus on to one. I want him to be able to go on the field and express himself."

The match kicks off at 6pm.
