Hot List Alert: Watch Out for New Superstars: Keinan Davis & Lloyd Kelly Set to Make Impressive Debut!

Why Lloyd Kelly and Keinan Davis Could Be in Contention for England Debuts Lloyd Kelly and Keinan Davis are in strong contention to be named in Thomas Tuchel’s England squad for the first time. The pair faced off at Bluenergy Stadium as Udinese hosted Juventus , a fixture the England manager would certainly have had his eyes on. Kelly started on the left of a back three, while Davis was partnered with Nicolò Zaniolo upfront.

As expected, Juventus controlled the possession and as a result Kelly was able to demonstrate his expertise on the ball. Kelly the Overlapping Centre Back? On several occasions, he carried the ball into space.

When wingback Andrea Cambiaso was further up the pitch, Kelly would use his pace and composure to advance the ball down the wing. In one instance, the 27 year-old glided past Zaniolo, which prompted the Italian to drag him to the floor and subsequently receive the match’s first yellow card. Kelly would return the favour late on in the second-half, a tactical foul to deny Zaniolo’s search for an equaliser.

Even off the ball, the former Bournemouth and Newcastle man could be seen positioned on the wing or when Udinese had the ball, he would occasionally step into midfield. However, the most impressive aspect of his game was his passing, in particular long balls. Udinese couldn’t handle the ball over the top, he was able to find someone in the final third three times, notably finding Kenan Yıldız down the left flank, who was able to put it on a plate for Jeremie Boga, who scored the game’s only goal.
