Thomas Tuchel explains decision to recall Leeds United striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin | OneFootball

Thomas Tuchel has recalled Leeds United striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin to his England squad for a four-match international window.

Asked about recalls for Cole Palmer, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Lewis Hall and Calvert-Lewin, Tuchel said: "It is high-level sports, you non-stop have to prove yourself." "If players have a good start to the season, they should always be given the chance to come into camp and prove a point." "Everyone up front has starts for their clubs and are in good shape." He was speaking on England’s App.

After a strong start, and following a Leeds appeal to the Premier League, he has four goals this season, three in the Premier League. Tuchel called him up before the World Cup but he did not make the final squad.

Calvert-Lewin joins James Trafford in the squad. James Justin and Jayden Bogle were not selected.

Calvert-Lewin made his England debut in October 2020 against Wales, scoring in a 3-0 win. He struck again a month later in a 3-0 victory over Ireland, then netted twice in March against San Marino in a 6-0 success. He has 12 caps and four goals, and has not scored for England since.

England begin their Nations League run against Spain on the 26th, then visit Czech Republic three days later. Croatia away follows, before facing Czech Republic at home.
