England manager Roy Hodgson has revealed that Southampton midfielder Adam Lallana has played his way into contention for a spot in his World Cup squad.
Lallana, who has been in superb form for his club in the Premier League, was awarded his first England cap on Friday night when they hosted Chile and that was then backed up by another start against Germany last night.
Despite both games ending in defeat for Hodgson and co., the England boss believes the performances by Lallana has put him right in contention for a spot in his squad for Brazil next Summer.
“He was very good. I was very happy with his two performances,” the England boss told the Daily Telegraph.
“He has shown he is comfortable on this stage and has a lot of skill. He’s been a major find.”
