Lewis Hall has spoken about the competition for England places as he looks to make the most of his opportunity under Thomas Tuchel. With Trent Alexander-Arnold mentioned during the discussion about players fighting to claim an England shirt, Hall made clear that every appearance matters when the competition inside the squad is so strong.
The Newcastle United left-back admitted he was disappointed to miss the World Cup after feeling he had been in good form, but his focus is now on taking his chance whenever Tuchel selects him. Hall also discussed the shortage of established England left-backs, the information he is taking on after returning to the squad and the challenge of competing with players who spent seven weeks together during the summer.
Ahead of England’s Nations League meeting with Czechia, Hall explained why he believes competition for places is healthy and said players have to be at their best whenever they represent their country. He also reflected on England’s performance against Spain and the importance of the remaining Nations League fixtures.
