Birmingham City star Jude Bellingham is not going to play against Leicester City in the FA Cup.

The two sides meet on Wednesday and it was seen as a big chance for the teenager to show Premier League suitors his quality.

But it appears he will be rested, as the 16-year-old has played a lot of games recently.

"Jude has played a lot of games and I rested him on Saturday with a view to him playing this game on Wednesday," City manager Pep Clotet told a press conference.

"But young players manage the load different to full professionals, sometimes they take longer to recover and they get minor knocks and minor things.

"It was an intense game against Millwall and I want him to have a complete fresh, new start for Saturday.

"I know that will disappoint the fans, the fact he will not play against Premier League opposition tomorrow.

"It is very simple, his team-mates need to win tomorrow so we can play another Premier League team."
