Crystal Palace fullback Mitchell appreciates support of senior teammate Riedewald

Crystal Palace fullback Tyrick Mitchell admits he's appreciated the support of senior teammate Jaïro Riedewald.

The youngster has made his Premier League breakthrough during the current restart.

And he said in last night's Palace match programme: “All of the lads are easy going and are happy to help you because they appreciate that I am young.

“I'm close with Jaïro Riedewald. He is probably the one who has helped me the most from when I first started coming up and training with the first-team. He's young himself, so he understands and relates it back to when he was with Ajax and breaking through.

“He is always giving me little pointers, even things such as 'smile more' to tactical advice to give myself the best chance."
