Former Newcastle goalkeeper Tim Krul, speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast about Danny Welbeck's fine form and whether the Brighton striker should be in the England squad: “He’s evolved, I think he’s like a fine wine.

"He's clearly proven at a great club like Brighton to not just be that number nine running in behind, he's becoming an all-round striker.

"You need squad players [at international tournaments], you can't just bring 25 individuals, you need to think about the team cohesion as well.

"[England boss] Thomas Tuchel has got so many amazing individual players to choose from and he's going to leave a lot of players at home that he not necessarily doesn't think are good enough, but maybe do not really fit in that team spirit.

"When I was part of the Dutch squad in 2014, Louis van Gaal left some unbelievable players at home because he knew how important those players are who don't get many minutes – how important it is for an impact on the pitch, but even more important off the pitch supporting that starting XI."
