"Ollie Watkins knows his current form has not been good enough to get in Thomas Tuchel's latest England squad. He was left out of the expanded 35-man squad for the Three Lions' upcoming friendlies against Uruguay and Japan having scored just one goal in his past nine Premier League matches."
"Against West Ham, Watkins showed Tuchel just what he is missing as he ended a six-match goal drought in the league. He provided a constant threat and was unlucky not to find the net with more of his five efforts, twice dragging shots just wide."
"One thing with Watkins you can always rely on is his endeavour and his willingness to keep running the channels and keep doing the right things for the team. That's a huge thing that Tuchel will keep an eye on."
Ollie Watkins has been left out of England's 35-man squad for upcoming friendlies due to poor form, scoring only one goal in nine matches. Despite a recent goal against West Ham, his overall performance this season is below expectations compared to last year. Watkins acknowledges the need to improve to regain Tuchel's trust and secure a spot in the World Cup. Former player Danny Murphy believes Watkins still has a chance to impress the England coach with his work ethic and performance.
