Chalobah, who turned 19 during Ipswich’s Spanish training camp, played in the 1-0 behind-closed-doors victory over Kilmarnock but will miss tomorrow’s game at Braintree after being called up by England.
The teenager trained at St George’s Park today ahead of the Under 19 European Championship in Finland, which begins on Monday, with England’s opening game coming on Tuesday against Turkey before clashes with Ukraine and Frace on July 20 and 23.

The final is scheduled for July 29 in Seinäjoki meaning, if holders England progress that far, Chalobah will miss the entirety of his club’s pre-season schedule.

It is understood Chelsea are keen for their player to compete in the tournament, with the England squad officially confirmed on Monday.
A trio of Ipswich midfielders have represented England’s Under 19s in recent years, but Andre Dozzell, Flynn Downes and Tristan Nydam are all due to be part of the Ipswich squad for the visit to National League side Braintree and be available throughout pre-season.
