Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite is using his absence from the Euro 2024 squad as motivation to impress Thomas Tuchel as he aims for a spot in the upcoming England squad. The 22-year-old expressed disappointment at being overlooked by Gareth Southgate, particularly as England reached the final. With Tuchel's first squad announcement approaching, Branthwaite is determined to perform at his best for Everton, who have improved under manager David Moyes. The defender appreciates the communication and support from Tuchel, enhancing his chances for the World Cup qualifiers against Albania and Latvia.
"I missed out recently with a big squad and I don't want that feeling again. That gave me motivation to [make sure] every game I play is my best to help my club and then give myself the best possible chance to be in the England squad."
"It is nice to have that connection with the new manager and to know he is watching you play and lets you know how you have done."
