Dominic Calvert-Lewin maintains the position as the top scorer for England’s Premier League team this season, with recent performances drawing attention from national selectors. Despite a five-year hiatus from the national squad, his goal-scoring record keeps him in consideration for the upcoming World Cup, should he be able to demonstrate consistent form and fitness before the selection deadline. Meanwhile, Ollie Watkins continues to be a leading figure in the league, offering competition for a striker spot, and potentially providing a tactical alternative for the national team coaching staff. The upcoming fixtures and player performances will likely influence the final decision, with both players aiming to secure a spot for the tournament. The selection process remains competitive, and Calvert-Lewin’s ability to reintegrate into the national setup hinges on maintaining his scoring form and addressing any fitness concerns as the tournament approaches.
