DANNY’S DONE WEL ENOUGH FOR RECALL

DANNY WELBECK has Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler’s backing when it comes to earning an England recall.

The 34-year-old’s last international cap came in 2018 when he was at Arsenal, but he has been linked with a return after scoring five goals in the Seagulls’ last four Premier League games.

And Hurzeler believes the former Manchester United forward (inset) is deserving of a place in Thomas Tuchel’s next Three Lions squad.

“I asked the question to the squad if they think Danny can play for England and they all agreed,” Hurzeler said. “That was the only time we’ve mentioned it. Let’s see what happens.

“I have a big belief that he is able to play for England, but I always try to emphasise that England has a great coach and he will make the right decisions.”

The Seagulls go into today’s clash with Leeds on the back of a league defeat to Manchester United and a Carabao Cup loss against Arsenal, but Hurzeler believes the spirit in his team will help get results.

He said: “I’m 100 per cent convinced we have the right characters and the right personalities.”
