Pronoun/reported speech
Message from ronja posted on 31-10-2011 at 16:49:44 (D | E | F)
Hello
I need your help please:
“If the meeting is cancelled, I can leave earlier,” said the colleague.
I don't know if the colleague is a man or woman.
How can I change the following direct speech into a reported speech?
The colleague said if the meeting was cancelled HE? or THE COLLEAGUE? could leave earlier.
He or the colleague, which is correct?
Thank you for your answers.

Best Wishes
