Loan Round-Up: Youngsters Continue Football League Progress

- Tom Lawrence, Hamza Choudhury and Michael Cain have made an impact while on loan

- Lawrence scored a brilliant goal this week as Ipswich Town fell to a 2-1 defeat to QPR

- Choudhury has proven to be useful for Burton Albion in the Championship, making 16 appearances

- For Blackpool, Cain made his 13th appearance during the 1-0 loss to Mansfield Town this week

Leicester City youngsters Tom Lawrence, Hamza Choudhury and Michael Cain have continued to excel during their respective loan spells in the Football League. 

Lawrence, on loan at Ipswich Town, scored a specular goal from 30 yards out against Queens Park Rangers last time out but it was not enough to prevent a 2-1 defeat for the Tractor Boys at Loftus Road. 

The Wales International’s strike came in between Idrissa Sylla’s 30th minute opener and a late winner by Pawel Wszolek to hand Ian Holloway’s men victory and keep Town in 15th place in the Sky Bet Championship table. 

Lawrence has been ever-present for Mick McCarthy’s side over Christmas, featuring seven times since the start of December, and has three second-tier goals to his name thus far this season. 

Meanwhile, Choudhury has been useful for Burton Albion and made a late cameo appearance during the 1-0 defeat by Preston North End at the Pirelli Stadium on Monday 2 January, 2017. 

The midfielder has made 16 appearances for the Brewers this campaign. Choudhury, 19, was a loan addition last season as Burton won automatic promotion from League 1, playing 13 games during a three-month loan spell and has continued to impress this term. 

Cain, on the other hand, has been called upon often as Blackpool chase a play-off berth in League 2 with his most recent display coming during the 1-0 defeat to Mansfield Town this week. 

On a season-long stay in the North West, Cain has featured 13 times for Blackpool this season, scoring his only goal for the club during the 2-1 defeat by Accrington Stanley on 15 October.
