birminghammail--2020-04-18--The Aston Villa youth team that's being broken up one by one

Just like that talented NextGen group featuring Jack Grealish & Co , another Aston Villa youth cup-winning side is on the cusp of being disbanded .
Two years ago , Villa 's under-23s beat Swansea City on penalties at the Liberty Stadium to win the Premier League Cup .
The game finished 0-0 AET , with Villa captained by Jordan Lyden seeing off a Swans side featuring £15m Manchester United winger Daniel James .
Villa , of course , have a rich tradition in youth cup competitions , winning the FA Youth Cup in 2002 and the NextGen Series in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ triumphs came in south Wales 24 months back with midfielder Jack Clarke striking home the winning penalty .
Fast-forward to 2020 and just four of the 16-man squad remain at Villa , with another four currently out on loan ahead of their contracts expiring .
Here 's a rundown of that 16-man squad - and how they 're getting on today ...
Signed by Tim Sherwood from Anderlecht in 2015 , Sarkic has been out on loan at Wigan , Stratford Town , Havant & Waterlooville and , most recently , Livingstone in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a fully-fledged Montenegro international and , as it stands , is currently Villa 's third-choice stopper behind Pepe Reina and orjan Nyland .
The keeper , though , is yet to make a first-team appearance at Villa Park with his contract set to expire at the end of this season .
It 's looking likely he 'll be released despite a successful spell in the Scottish Premier League , registering six clean sheets in 14 games .
Still featuring for Mark Delaney 's under-23s at Bodymoor .
Bazeley-Graham spent the first half of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ National League North .
The right-back turned 20 in February and it remains to be seen if he 'll be kept on for the foreseeable future .
The full-back is , if you did n't know , listed on Aston Villa 's in-game FIFA20 squad on the PS4 and X-Box !
The Australian was released by Dean Smith last summer which brought an end to Lyden 's seven-year spell at Bodymoor Heath .
Lyden , of course , is a defensive midfielder but , against Swansea in the cup final , the captain @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The 24-year-old made his Villa debut at Wycombe in the FA Cup in January 2016 .
Lyden , meanwhile , featured in drubbings against Liverpool , Chelsea and Arsenal during the club 's relegation .
The player from Perth had a spell at Oldham last year before signing a one-year contract at Swindon Town in League Two .
Big Dom has been at Aston Villa since the under-9 age group and , fast-forward more than a decade , he 's still donning the claret and blue .
Villa will have a decision to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ feature heavily for Delaney in the under-23s .
Reven , though , caught the eye of Smith last year with the head coach putting the youngster on the bench against Albion at The Hawthorns .
The 19-year-old is yet to make a first-team appearance .
His younger brother , Sebastian , aged 16 , is a left-back for Villa 's under-18 side .
Where : Port Vale ( on loan from Leicester City ) Like Reven before him , Clarke was at Villa since under-9s before Brendan Rodgers bizarrely snapped him up for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , though , started a first-team match under Steve Bruce in the League Cup win over Wigan in August 2017 .
A fiery , all-action defender , Clarke signed a three-year contract at the King Power Stadium while , this season , has been on loan at Port Vale .
Another one released by Smith last summer , Blackett-Taylor signed for League One Tranmere Rovers on a two-year deal until 2021 .
The Erdington-born winger has been featuring heavily for Micky Mellon and has made 24 league appearances , scoring twice and assisting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ another one that joined at the under-9 age group while being named on the bench by Sherwood against Notts County in 2015 .
Blackett-Taylor did , though , make his first-team debut coming on for Neil Taylor at Huddersfield just over three years ago .
Where : Cheltenham Town ( on loan from Aston Villa ) The young Irishman reportedly attracted interest from Chelsea and Manchester United before opting to join Villa during his early teenage years .
In 2017 , though , it was Bruce who handed him first-team starts in League @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Villa Park .
Doyle-Hayes was again heavily involved in pre-season in Portugal in 2018 and was picked from the start for Villa 's 1-0 win at Yeovil .
A loan move to Cambridge United was forthcoming last year while , this term , Doyle-Hayes signed a year-long loan at Cheltenham Town .
The 21-year-old 's Villa contract is up in June and it 's expected he wo n't be signing a new deal .
Scorer of the winning penalty at the Liberty Stadium two years ago , Clarke was another player looked at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ first discovered playing for local side Arden Forest before moving to Villa at under-9s .
Now 21 , Clarke was called up to Smith 's first-team training camp in Minnesota last summer in a bid to impress ahead of signing a new deal .
Things have n't exactly worked out at Villa , though , with no first-team appearance in the offing .
He possesses a wicked left foot and usually plays central midfield but , under Delaney , has played as a No.10 .
For the 23s this season , he 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Premier League 2 apperances .
It 's not known if he 'll be offered a new contract .
Where : Coventry City ( on loan from Aston Villa ) O'Hare has been lighting up League One for Coventry this season , with Sky Blues supporters desperate to sign him up permanently .
Like Clarke , O'Hare was part of the Minnesota tour and featured in friendlies against the MLS outfit as well as at Shrewsbury and at Walsall .
It was Bruce who handed the Solihull star his first-team debut against Colchester in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ eight appearances .
The talented play-maker ripped it up on loan at Carlisle last season and has picked up from where he left off at the Sky Blues .
Villa supporters like the 21-year-old a lot and the vast majority want him kept on given his contract is set to expire in June .
Where : Charlton Athletic ( on loan from Aston Villa ) Delaney and Kevin MacDonald opted to play then first-teamer Andre Green up front against Swansea , a position he 's been playing in for current boss Lee Bowyer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the scene at Villa in 2016 and has gone on to make 48 appearances , scoring twice .
Again , Smith played Green over pre-season before sending him off to Preston and then Charlton in January .
Like O'Hare , Green 's deal at Villa Park is expiring at the end of this season and it remains to be seen if he 'll be offered the chance to stick around .
Where : Derby County under-23s ( on loan from Aston Villa ) There 's a recurring theme here , 21-year-olds with expiring @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Villa in the very near future .
Rushian Hepburn-Murphy 's another one after failing to make the grade from youth team to first team .
Hepburn-Murphy replaced Christian Benteke for his first debut at Sunderland under Sherwood in 2015 .
Since then , the pacy striker has made 17 appearances including just two starts in the cup .
The forward last played for Villa when the writing was on the wall for Bruce after that 4-1 hammering at Sheffield United on September 1 , 2018 .
Loan moves to Cambridge and Tranmere followed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ move to Derby 's under-23s .
You 'd fully expect Hepburn-Murphy to leave Bodymoor Heath for good after this season - let 's just hope he does n't break any windows on his way out .
Alex Prosser - Left Villa last summer and joined Kidderminster Harriers on a free .
The tall midfielder has made 22 starts in National League North .
Viktor Johannson - The Swedish stopper left Villa in 2018 and joined Leicester City 's under-23s .
His contract at the KP is about to expire .
Jordan Cox - @ @ @ @ @ @ @ September after being released .
Cox spent a decade at Aston Villa from the age of 10 .
Kelsey Mooney ( above ) - The son of ex-Blues striker Tommy Mooney , Kelsey is currently leading the line for Hereford in the National League North .
Oscar Borg - A high profile signing from West Ham 's academy back in 2016 , left-back Borg departed Villa two years later and signed for Braintree Town .
Borg was last playing in the Spanish third tier for Arenas Club de Getxo .

Fast-forward to 2020 and just four of the 16-man squad remain at Villa, with another four currently out on loan ahead of their contracts expiring.
Here's a rundown of that 16-man squad - and how they're getting on today...
Goalkeeper: Matija Sarkic
Where: Aston Villa first-team
Signed by Tim Sherwood from Anderlecht in 2015, Sarkic has been out on loan at Wigan, Stratford Town, Havant & Waterlooville and, most recently, Livingstone in Scotland.
Now 22, Sarkic is a fully-fledged Montenegro international and, as it stands, is currently Villa's third-choice stopper behind Pepe Reina and orjan Nyland.
The keeper, though, is yet to make a first-team appearance at Villa Park with his contract set to expire at the end of this season.
It's looking likely he'll be released despite a successful spell in the Scottish Premier League, registering six clean sheets in 14 games.
Right-back: Isaiah Bazeley-Graham
Where: Aston Villa under-23s
Still featuring for Mark Delaney's under-23s at Bodymoor. Bazeley-Graham spent the first half of this season at Bradford Park Avenue in National League North.
The right-back turned 20 in February and it remains to be seen if he'll be kept on for the foreseeable future.
The full-back is, if you didn't know, listed on Aston Villa's in-game FIFA20 squad on the PS4 and X-Box!
Centre-back: Jordan Lyden
Where: Swindon Town
The Australian was released by Dean Smith last summer which brought an end to Lyden's seven-year spell at Bodymoor Heath.
Lyden, of course, is a defensive midfielder but, against Swansea in the cup final, the captain played at centre-back alongside Dom Reven.
The 24-year-old made his Villa debut at Wycombe in the FA Cup in January 2016.
Lyden, meanwhile, featured in drubbings against Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal during the club's relegation.
The player from Perth had a spell at Oldham last year before signing a one-year contract at Swindon Town in League Two.
Centre-back: Dominic Reven
Where: Aston Villa under-23s
Big Dom has been at Aston Villa since the under-9 age group and, fast-forward more than a decade, he's still donning the claret and blue.
Villa will have a decision to make regarding the centre-back who continues to feature heavily for Delaney in the under-23s.
Reven, though, caught the eye of Smith last year with the head coach putting the youngster on the bench against Albion at The Hawthorns.
The 19-year-old is yet to make a first-team appearance. His younger brother, Sebastian, aged 16, is a left-back for Villa's under-18 side.
Left-back: Mitchell Clarke
Where: Port Vale (on loan from Leicester City)
Like Reven before him, Clarke was at Villa since under-9s before Brendan Rodgers bizarrely snapped him up for Leicester last summer.
The Nuneaton-born full-back, though, started a first-team match under Steve Bruce in the League Cup win over Wigan in August 2017.
A fiery, all-action defender, Clarke signed a three-year contract at the King Power Stadium while, this season, has been on loan at Port Vale.
Right-midfield: Corey Blackett-Taylor
Where: Tranmere Rovers
Another one released by Smith last summer, Blackett-Taylor signed for League One Tranmere Rovers on a two-year deal until 2021.
The Erdington-born winger has been featuring heavily for Micky Mellon and has made 24 league appearances, scoring twice and assisting twice.
Again, the 22-year-old is another one that joined at the under-9 age group while being named on the bench by Sherwood against Notts County in 2015.
Blackett-Taylor did, though, make his first-team debut coming on for Neil Taylor at Huddersfield just over three years ago.
Central midfield: Jake Doyle-Hayes
Where: Cheltenham Town (on loan from Aston Villa)
The young Irishman reportedly attracted interest from Chelsea and Manchester United before opting to join Villa during his early teenage years.
In 2017, though, it was Bruce who handed him first-team starts in League Cup encounters against Wigan and Middlesbrough at Villa Park.
Doyle-Hayes was again heavily involved in pre-season in Portugal in 2018 and was picked from the start for Villa's 1-0 win at Yeovil.
A loan move to Cambridge United was forthcoming last year while, this term, Doyle-Hayes signed a year-long loan at Cheltenham Town.
The 21-year-old's Villa contract is up in June and it's expected he won't be signing a new deal.
Central midfield: Jack Clarke
Where: Aston Villa under-23s
Scorer of the winning penalty at the Liberty Stadium two years ago, Clarke was another player looked at by former boss Bruce.
Clarke was first discovered playing for local side Arden Forest before moving to Villa at under-9s.
Now 21, Clarke was called up to Smith's first-team training camp in Minnesota last summer in a bid to impress ahead of signing a new deal.
Things haven't exactly worked out at Villa, though, with no first-team appearance in the offing.
He possesses a wicked left foot and usually plays central midfield but, under Delaney, has played as a No.10.
For the 23s this season, he's scored two and assisted four in 13 Premier League 2 apperances. It's not known if he'll be offered a new contract.
Left-midfield: Callum O'Hare
Where: Coventry City (on loan from Aston Villa)
O'Hare has been lighting up League One for Coventry this season, with Sky Blues supporters desperate to sign him up permanently.
Like Clarke, O'Hare was part of the Minnesota tour and featured in friendlies against the MLS outfit as well as at Shrewsbury and at Walsall.
(Image: Getty Images)
It was Bruce who handed the Solihull star his first-team debut against Colchester in August 2017, with O'Hare making another eight appearances.
The talented play-maker ripped it up on loan at Carlisle last season and has picked up from where he left off at the Sky Blues.
Villa supporters like the 21-year-old a lot and the vast majority want him kept on given his contract is set to expire in June.
Striker: Andre Green
Where: Charlton Athletic (on loan from Aston Villa)
Delaney and Kevin MacDonald opted to play then first-teamer Andre Green up front against Swansea, a position he's been playing in for current boss Lee Bowyer at Charlton.
The winger burst on the scene at Villa in 2016 and has gone on to make 48 appearances, scoring twice.
Again, Smith played Green over pre-season before sending him off to Preston and then Charlton in January.
Like O'Hare, Green's deal at Villa Park is expiring at the end of this season and it remains to be seen if he'll be offered the chance to stick around.
Striker: Rushian Hepburn-Murphy
Where: Derby County under-23s (on loan from Aston Villa)
There's a recurring theme here, 21-year-olds with expiring contracts who look set to leave Aston Villa in the very near future.
Rushian Hepburn-Murphy's another one after failing to make the grade from youth team to first team.
Hepburn-Murphy replaced Christian Benteke for his first debut at Sunderland under Sherwood in 2015.
(Image: Getty Images)
Since then, the pacy striker has made 17 appearances including just two starts in the cup.
The forward last played for Villa when the writing was on the wall for Bruce after that 4-1 hammering at Sheffield United on September 1, 2018.
Loan moves to Cambridge and Tranmere followed before a bizarre January transfer window loan move to Derby's under-23s.
You'd fully expect Hepburn-Murphy to leave Bodymoor Heath for good after this season - let's just hope he doesn't break any windows on his way out.

Alex Prosser - Left Villa last summer and joined Kidderminster Harriers on a free. The tall midfielder has made 22 starts in National League North.

Across the whole of the UK, deaths have today increased by 888 to a new total of 15,464.

Police found a man hiding behind a wall following an attempted break-in at a Kingswinford bakery.
The Wheatmill Bakery in Lapwood Avenue was targeted just after 10pm on Friday (April 17).
An anonymous 999 caller tipped cops off and when they arrived at the scene, they found a push bike dumped on the car park behind the shop.
A search around the premises proved fruitless so PCSOs turned their attention to the flats above - and found a man lying down behind a wall that separates the properties.
A man was arrested and cautioned for attempted burglary.
Response officers then arrived while further checks were carried out.
Join our Black Country Crime Watch Facebook group to be alerted to any suspicious or criminal behaviour happening in your area.
PCSO Louis Webb said: "Great partnership working between the neighbourhood team and response."
"A big thanks also goes out to the member of the public who originally made the police aware of the issue, again highlighting the vital role all you members of the public play in preventing crime," he added.


birminghammail--2020-04-18--Marriner's Villa admission won't go down well with Albion fans

Andre Marriner ’ s recent comments confirming that he is an Aston Villa supporter will likely not go down too well for West Brom fans who have a long memory .
Indeed , for many Baggies just the mention of the Premier League referee ’ s name will have them recalling a trip to Stamford Bridge in November 2013 with a shudder .
It was supposed to be the day that Jose Mourinho first tasted defeat as Chelsea boss , spanning his two spells in charge of the London club .
Albion , who had fallen behind in the game @ @ @ @ @ @ @ half thanks to goals from Shane Long and Stephane Sessegnon .
Controversy arrived deep into stoppage time when Steven Reid was adjudged to have fouled Ramires in the penalty area and , as the clock struck 96 , Eden Hazard tucked home an equaliser .
Steve Clarke was beside himself post-match , as were a host of his players who furiously protested against Marriner ’ s call , albeit in vain .
A big scalp , and two precious points , had been robbed from Albion in the cruellest of circumstances , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ collective groans whenever Marriner has overseen matches involving the Baggies since .
“ Yes , I ’ m a Villa fan .
I go as much as I can .
My two kids are season ticket holders , and whenever I get the opportunity to go down , I will , ” Marriner told That Peter Crouch podcast .
“ I went to the League Cup final , only a few weeks back .
We gave a good account of ourselves - I thought we were going to get absolutely hammered , if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ did alright !
” Those comments , six and a half years on , certainly don ’ t help to extinguish the embers smouldering inside many Albion fans - indeed they rather fan them .
“ We ’ ve had a phone call from Mike Riley to apologise , ” Clarke said a few weeks after the event .
“ He obviously feels it was the wrong decision .
It doesn ’ t get us any more points but it ’ s nice of Mike to phone .

Indeed, for many Baggies just the mention of the Premier League referee’s name will have them recalling a trip to Stamford Bridge in November 2013 with a shudder.
It was supposed to be the day that Jose Mourinho first tasted defeat as Chelsea boss, spanning his two spells in charge of the London club.
Albion, who had fallen behind in the game, got themselves ahead in the second half thanks to goals from Shane Long and Stephane Sessegnon.
Controversy arrived deep into stoppage time when Steven Reid was adjudged to have fouled Ramires in the penalty area and, as the clock struck 96, Eden Hazard tucked home an equaliser.
Steve Clarke was beside himself post-match, as were a host of his players who furiously protested against Marriner’s call, albeit in vain.
A big scalp, and two precious points, had been robbed from Albion in the cruellest of circumstances, and it was an incident that has prompted collective groans whenever Marriner has overseen matches involving the Baggies since.
“Yes, I’m a Villa fan. I go as much as I can. My two kids are season ticket holders, and whenever I get the opportunity to go down, I will,” Marriner told That Peter Crouch podcast.
“I went to the League Cup final, only a few weeks back. We gave a good account of ourselves - I thought we were going to get absolutely hammered, if I’m honest, but we did alright!”
Those comments, six and a half years on, certainly don’t help to extinguish the embers smouldering inside many Albion fans - indeed they rather fan them.
“We’ve had a phone call from Mike Riley to apologise,” Clarke said a few weeks after the event.
“He obviously feels it was the wrong decision. It doesn’t get us any more points but it’s nice of Mike to phone.”

Liverpool don ’ t have any intentions of spending £70m to sign Adama Traore in the next transfer window , according to reports .
The Reds have been linked with a move for Wolves speed demon Traore , who has been fulfilling his undoubted potential under Nuno Espirito Santo at Molineux this season .

Shops that are allowed to be open
When the Government lockdown was announced, the only businesses in the retail sector that were allowed to remain open were:
Supermarkets and other food shops
Medical services (such as dental surgeries, opticians and audiology clinics, physiotherapy clinics, chirpody and podiatry clinics, and other professional vocational medical services)
Pharmacies and chemists, including non-dispensing pharmacies
Petrol stations
Bicycle shops
Hardware shops and equipment, plant and tool hire
Veterinary surgeries and pet shops
Agricultural supplies shops
Corner shops and newsagents
Off-licences and licensed shops selling alcohol, including those within breweries
Laundrettes and dry cleaners
Post offices
Vehicle rental services
Car garages and MOT services
Car parks
High street banks, building societies, short-term loan providers, credit unions and cash points
Storage and distribution facilities, including delivery drop off points where they are on the premises of any of the above businesses
Public toilets
Shopping centres may stay open but only units of the types listed above may trade
Market stalls which offer essential retail, such as grocery and food
The Department for for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs has urged people: "Shoppers are asked to be considerate in the way they shop by not buying more than needed, and supporting their friends, family and neighbours with food errands.
"If you are fit and healthy and able to get to the shops to buy your own food or food for others, please try to do so. This will help to free up food delivery slots for those who need them most."
In the food and drink sector, food delivery and takeaway shops are allowed to stay open if they follow strict rules on social distancing.
Ordering in advance is encouraged, and no seating areas are allowed.
But some of the big chains such as McDonald's have closed during the coronavirus crisis. Find out which ones are open here in our guide to lockdown takeaway deliveries.


birminghammail--2020-04-18--Bilic explains what must happen to Albion's out of contract stars

Slaven Bilic insists that clubs must be permitted to keep players who are set to see their contracts expire this summer , amid the coronavirus pandemic .
West Brom have a number of players whose current deals are due to expire once the regular season ends , but the pandemic and consequent suspension of the league has thrown those futures into uncertainty .
Club captain and stalwart Chris Brunt , Gareth Barry , Jonathan Bond , Nathan Ferguson and Lee Peltier are among that cluster who now don ’ t know what lies ahead of them .
Boss Bilic , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ part of the squad which has helped the club maintain an automatic promotion spot since September .
Provided the remaining nine matches can be played out safely , they should have their deals extended for the time it takes to complete those fixtures .
“ The only way to finish this season in an honest and legal way is to allow the clubs to keep their players , ” Bilic said .
“ The players would be risking a bit , but for me the clubs are the priority .
“ These clubs @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them the contracts .
It ’ s not the time to think of individuality .
“ You have to sacrifice for the sake of football because without clubs we wouldn ’ t be able to play.
” Albion have been doing plenty in the lockdown to help both the local community and those who have been struggling within the fanbase .
It ’ s not just the excellent Albion Foundation , or the club ’ s senior staff , who have been bearing the responsibility of reaching out , either .
The players @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Jake Livermore and Bilic himself , have been putting calls in to supporters in need of a friendly chat .
“ The players love to do those kinds of things , ” Bilic continued .
“ The players are no different to other people .
In general people love to make other people happy if they are in a position to do that .
“ The players , it ’ s not that they don ’ t mind - they like to do it .
So now they have time , and one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a human is to make somebody happy .
“ Especially in this kind of job , it costs you nothing .
You are talking for five minutes with a supporter and you are making their day a great one .
“ It makes your day great also .
It makes you happy also .
They are doing that especially with the older fans who have to stay in , it ’ s hard for them .
The current playing squad at The Hawthorns have proven themselves to be a thoughtful bunch , too @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be furloughed as of yet , because of the measures that the club have taken , but Bilic has revealed that it was a subject on the players ’ minds and that they ’ d be more than happy to help out if required .
“ When I spoke to the board at West Brom , the players also called and said they don ’ t want the non-playing staff to lose a single penny , ” he added .
“ The players and staff are more than ready to fill their wages @ @ @ @ @ @ @ minimum I think players should do .
“ But like anyone else , they don ’ t like to be cornered .

A mother said she was left horrified when the bathroom in her council flat 'became infested with flies ' .
The mum , who did not wish to be named , told BirminghamLive she has been begging the council since 2017 to fix a leak which allegedly caused a sewage smell , insects to swarm and wood to rot at the property in Fairbourne Tower , Lyndhurst Estate , Erdington .

birminghammail--2020-04-19--Over 6.5 million jobs to be lost in lockdown - here's where it will hit hardest

Britain 's coronavirus lockdown will take more than 6.5 million jobs out of the economy , according to estimates in a new study .
Research by the Institute for Social and Economic Research at the University of Essex says this equates to around a quarter of the UK 's total jobs , with more than half the positions in certain sectors to be lost .
Accommodation and food services are predicted to suffer the worst rate of cuts , with 75.1 per cent of jobs lost , or around 1.3 million positions .
Ranked second was `` other services '' @ @ @ @ @ @ @ `` wholesale , retail and repair of motor vehicles '' at 47.6 per cent - or roughly two million jobs .
Next came transport and storage on 44 per cent , or some 700,000 positions , before a gap to `` administrative and support services '' , at 26.5 per cent .
The study shows the knock-on effects of certain industries on other sectors , with the agriculture , forestry and fishing sector tipped to lose one job in 10 due to reduced demand from the accommodation and food sector .
Among sectors @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the study were public administration/defence/social security ( 1.5 per cent ) , real estate ( 1.6 per cent ) , and mining , energy and water supply ( 2.7 per cent ) .
Certain sectors showed an increase in their workforces , chiefly health and social work , with a 27.1 per cent rise , and `` professional , scientific and technical activities '' ( up 3.4 per cent ) .
The institute 's modelling reflects the capacity of some people to work from home , which leaves some sectors less affected than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ losses will be mostly temporary , Professor Matteo Richiardi , an expert on modelling labour markets who led the research , warned the risk of jobs being permanently lost depends on the duration of the lockdown .
`` If this is short , say a few months , the links between employers and employees of affected industries might not be severed , and individual careers might not suffer too much , '' he told The Observer newspaper .
`` Under a longer lockdown , losses of human capital and scarring effects will occur @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but at a higher cost for individuals . ''
Prof Richiardi said the analysis confirmed a continued lockdown was economically unsustainable , which is likely to add to pressure on the Government to ease restrictions and revitalise the economy .

Jose Mourinho plans to use his link with super-agent Jorge Mendes to take Raul Jimenez to Tottenham Hotspur, according to reports.
Wolves striker Jimenez has been in stunning form this season with 22 goals across all competitions, including a brilliant winner against Spurs in the Premier League in March.
It’s little surprise that many of the game’s elite are courting him with Manchester United and Real Madrid also reportedly among his admirers.
And, according to Soccer Link in France, Mourinho will attempt to use his relationship with Mendes to lure Jimenez away from Molineux.
Mendes, who enjoys a close relationship with Wolves owners Fosun, has brought many of his clients to the Black Country over the past three seasons.
He was integral to Wolves’ £32.6million deal to sign Jimenez from Benfica last year, while he also represents Nuno Espirito Santo.
The report claims Mourinho wants Jimenez to add competition to first choice striker Harry Kane. Kane has been missing for part of the season through injury and Spurs’ results have deteriorated.
Any club interested in signing Jimenez will have to pay top dollar though due to the Mexican’s undeniable importance to Wolves.
