Fulham defender Steven Sessegnon has shared an update from the England U21 camp after linking up with his international team-mates this week.

The 19-year-old has been featuring regularly for Scott Parker's side in the Championship as he has helped them climb to seventh in the table heading into the two-week international break.

Sessegnon, who is twin brother of former team-mate Ryan, has started at right-back in eight of the Cottagers' 11 outings in the second tier following their relegation from the Premier League last term.

This is the second consecutive time Sessegnon has been called up to Aidy Boothroyd's U21 side as he also represented the Young Lions during the last international break when he made his debut against Turkey.

Sessegnon has taken to Twitter to post an image of him training with the U21 side during their latest training camp:

Sessegnon's latest experience with the U21 squad comes just days after he was substituted at half-time during Fulham's 2-2 draw with Charlton after a disappointing first-half performance.

The Verdict

It should do Sessegnon a lot of good to spend some time away with the England squad after a challenging week which saw him unceremoniously removed by Parker during the draw with Charlton.

He will benefit from being away from the Fulham spotlight for a couple of weeks and it is then possible he will return from international duty with a reinvigorated aporach.

The right-back has mostly performed well for Fulham this season so he should certainly not be judged off one performance, and Parker should also be credited for trusting in youth so early in the campaign.

Fulham fans should be hoping he does get some further international experience under his belt this week, but it seems like Sessegnon would also benefit from something of a break after a demanding start to the season.
