It’s taken a while, but there’s finally a Tottenham Hotspur player in the England national team squad. The Three Lions interim manager Lee Carsley named his squad for upcoming Nations League matches against Greece and Finland, and Dominic Solanke makes his return to the roster for the first time in seven years!

He deserves it too, as after a bedding in period resulting from an early season injury, Dom has been, well, big — scoring three goals in as many Tottenham matches and impressing with his work rate and pressing. A big deal for Big Dom.

Unfortunately, that’s all for current Tottenham players — still no call-up for James Maddison, unfortunately. There are a couple of former Spurs in the roster though: England captain Harry Kane, Manchester City’s Kyle Walker, and former Spurs academy graduate Noni Madueke.

Of course, this means that we have another international break coming up after this weekend’s Premier League fixture at Brighton, which sucks, but if you care about Nations League England will host Greece on October 10 and play at Finland on October 13.
