The Chelsea legend was listed along with Morecambe’s Mark Halstead, Notts County’s duo of Sam Stubbs and Ben Barclay, Preston North End’s Ben Davies, MK Dons’ Jake Hesketh, Luton Town’s George Moncur,
Sheffield United’s Gary Madine, Southend United’s Simon Cox and Norwich City ’s duo of Teemu Pukki and Emi Buendia.
