The 17-year-old is considered one of the top prospects from the academy, and manager Ruben Amorim has given him the opportunity to train with the first team. If more injuries occur, Ngwashi will likely be the next choice to fill a starting position.

The club's recent elimination from the EFL Cup makes it challenging for young players to break into the first team, but Amorim seems to be providing opportunities for young talent to develop.

Ngwashi's inclusion in the first-team training is a result of his "strong progress," according to sources. He will have the chance to impress Amorim over the next week and potentially earn a spot in the starting lineup.
