Calvert-Lewin’s Four-Game Scoring Run Reignites England Recall Hopes

Leeds manager Javi Farke says consistent form could put the striker back in England contention for March.

Overview

  • The 28-year-old headed an equaliser in Leeds’ 1-1 draw at Brentford, making it four consecutive Premier League games with a goal and taking him to five in 14 this season.
  • Farke hailed him as one of the best English strikers in the Premier League and stressed that Thomas Tuchel rewards consistent performances.
  • Calvert-Lewin has 11 England caps but has not played for the national team since Euro 2020 as injuries disrupted his progress.
  • England’s next squad is due in March for friendlies against Uruguay and Japan, the final tune-ups before World Cup decisions.
  • Media analysis notes several rivals for Harry Kane’s backup spot have struggled, which could bolster Calvert-Lewin’s case if his form holds.
