"Calvert-Lewin's England recall is testament to the striker's self-belief and desire to emerge from the dark times of seasons when he struggled with injury."
"Calvert-Lewin deserves huge credit for his persistence - but his call-up also underscores a huge concern for England and Tuchel."
"That worry is the massive drop-off in proven quality at international level should any misfortune befall England captain and record goalscorer Harry Kane."

This includes recalls for Harry Maguire and Dominic Calvert-Lewin, alongside first-time call-up James Garner. Calvert-Lewin's return reflects his determination after injury struggles. However, concerns arise regarding the lack of proven striker options if Harry Kane is unavailable, as Ollie Watkins is absent due to poor form, leaving Dominic Solanke as the only other striker in the squad.
