James Ward-Prowse set for England recall

James Ward-Prowse is set to earn a recall to the England squad, according to the Daily Mail.

The Three Lions face two Euro 2020 qualifiers later this month, taking on Czech Republic and Montenegro.

Ward-Prowse has one just a solitary cap for the senior side to date, against Germany two years ago.

The midfielder’s form for Southampton has impressed Gareth Southgate, however, and a call-up appears likely.

He scored and starred in Saints’ 2-0 win over Fulham in midweek – a crucial victory in their quest to avoid relegation.

Southgate will announce his squad on March 13th, with the battle for places becoming more intense at a positive time for the national team.

The England boss has picked players on merit rather than reputation, though, and Ward-Prowse’s form deserves recognition.

Now 24, the Saints star will feel now is the time to kick on and cement his place in the England squad regularly.
