Should Welbeck be in England squad?

When Thomas Tuchel named his England squad on Friday for upcoming friendlies against Uruguay and Japan there was one omission that became even more glaring the following day. That's because the player with the most goals by an Englishman in the Premier League this season hit a double as Brighton beat Champions League-chasing Liverpool. Danny Welbeck may be 35 but he is showing age is just a number after scoring his 11th and 12th league goals of the season.

While he may not be able to show Tuchel what he can do on the international stage before the German coach decides on his squad for this summer's World Cup, he appears to be doing all he can at club level. If he was frustrated at not impressing Tuchel enough yet for a call-up, he didn't show it after his man-of-the-match display against Liverpool. "Control what I can control," he told BBC Match of the Day on being in the conversation for a call-up.

"It's really nice that my name is being mentioned. That's a positive for me. "I don't like to give energy to things I can't control.

For me, I'm just happy, I'm enjoying my football and I focus on what I can control. " Welbeck scores twice as Liverpool suffer 10th loss One final experiment? Unpicking Tuchel's latest England squad Why 'valuable' Welbeck is in such good form Welbeck's statistics this season are certainly impressive.
