Burton Albion and Jake Hesketh face a battle with Southampton over his loan.

The Mirror says Hesketh faces a Southampton recall and Carabao Cup semi final heartbreak.

The on loan Southampton midfielder fired Nigel Clough's side into the last four on Tuesday - but his loan deal ends before the glamour ties kick off in January.

Boss Clough admits they landed Hesketh on a favourable loan deal which ends soon, and he fears they might not get him back because of his good form.

Hesketh is desperate to keep playing for Burton and wants Manchester City in the semis, but admits he wants a chance to test himself in the Premier League, and could face a huge dilemma.
