Glasner backs Mitchell for England call-up ahead of 2026 World Cup
"I told him after the game that I'm pretty sure if he continues playing like this, he will be in consideration for the World Cup with England because he's doing so well. Not just defensively. He's such a great defender, but the balls today in behind [were great]. He takes better decisions. When he passed into the middle and Clyney had the chance in the first half at the far post, he could see there was no space in behind and played a cutback."
"He had two or three great crosses in behind in the second half because the space was there. Sometimes it's in behind and sometimes it's in the cutback. You have to take the decision. The job of the players inside is to be there and they were, now T's finding them more and more. He's really playing on a very high level right now."
Tyrick Mitchell produced an outstanding display as Crystal Palace beat Fulham 2-1 at Craven Cottage, driving forward from the left and supplying dangerous deliveries into the box. With Daniel Muñoz unavailable, Mitchell took on added attacking responsibility, stretching Fulham's defence and creating chances with crosses and cutbacks. Oliver Glasner praised Mitchell's defensive solidity and improved decision-making, saying consistent form could put him in contention for England's World Cup squad. Mitchell has two England appearances from 2016 but has seldom featured since. Glasner highlighted specific passes and crosses and described Mitchell as playing at a very high level.
