The England international hasn’t featured this season after suffering an ACL injury before the start of the campaign.

However, Colwill came through 60 minutes unscathed in a behind closed doors game for the under-21s last week.

Before he was sacked Liam Rosenior confirmed Colwill would again feature for the under-21s as he continued to step up his recovery.

The 23-year-old started in Saturday’s 1-0 win against Middlesbrough with sporting directors Paul Winstanley and Sam Jewell in attendance as well as club legend John Terry.

The Athletic have reported the initial plan was for Colwill to play 60-70 minutes and see if he wanted to come off, but he chose to complete the game.

The report adds Colwill headed down the tunnel with a smile on his face, and the Blues will now gauge how his body reacts to playing a full game.

The Athletic state he may play again for the under-21s against Tottenham on Friday, but his chances of making a first team return before the end of the season are on track.
