Liverpool news: Jarell Quansah says England call-up ‘a surreal feeling’

Liverpool centre-back Jarell Quansah says “it is a surreal feeling” to be named in Thomas Tuchel’s first England squad.

The 22-year-old is yet to make a senior international appearance, despite being included in Gareth Southgate’s training squad before Euro 2024.

Since then, he has made 21 appearances for Liverpool and has been impressive at the back when called upon by Arne Slot.

“I was in the last camp but it was to just step in, so this is the first one where I feel part of the squad,” he told BBC Radio Merseyside.

“Football is about ups and downs and I wasn’t picked for the Euros, so it was about bouncing back and being in a better position this season.”
