Jack should be back in England squad

DICKOV BELIEVES EVERTON LOAN SHOULD GET WORLD CUP RECALL

- By CONNOR O'NEILL ECHO Reporter

THOMAS Tuchel has been told why he should select Jack Grealish in his England World Cup squad after Wayne Rooney claimed the Everton man's hopes were already dead and buried.

England completed a perfect World Cup qualification campaign against Albania on Sunday as Harry Kane's late brace secured Tuchel's side an eighth victory without conceding.

However, there was no place for Grealish in the German’s latest squad, and he has not played for his country for over a year, with the most recent of his 39 total caps coming in October 2024.

But speaking after the game at the Air Albania Stadium, Tuchel offered hope to Grealish and others that they may still go to next summer's World Cup finals by revealing he would reengage with the 55 to 60 players on his longlist, which he developed when he started the job in January.
