YOUTHFUL ENGLAND SO INSPIRING..

- BY JAMES NURSEY

ENGLAND’S success under Gareth Southgate is an inspiratio­n for young players up and down the country, according to Joe Worrall.

Boss Southgate (above) has steered England to the World Cup semi-finals and Nations League finals utilising young players this year.

And Rangers stopper Worrall, who has three England Under-21 caps and lifted the 2017 Toulon Tournament trophy as U-20 skipper, said: “Southgate is trusting young players and hopefully other managers will.

“If anyone comes to me with the excuse you are not old enough, I will go, ‘Hold on, these lads are playing for England’.

“Gareth gave me my first U-21 cap and presented it to me. It is nice to see lads can make that step up.”
