Crossword Genius

Incarcerated trendy team (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inside

'incarcerated' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'trendy team' is the wordplay.
'trendy' becomes 'in' ('in' can mean fashionable).
'team' becomes 'side' (both can mean a sports team).
'in'+'side'='INSIDE'

(Other definitions for inside that I've seen before include "confined" , "close to centre" , "serving porridge" , "Indoors" , "Enid is (anag) - within" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
