Callum Wilson was 'over the moon' to receive a World Cup call-up and has revealed his determination to make history with England. The Three Lions squad left St Georges' Park on Tuesday morning ahead of the mid-season competition, with their opening Group B fixture against Iran to come on Monday.
Wilson was one of several headline inclusions in Gareth Southgate's 26-man squad, having not represented his country for three years. The Newcastle United striker has netted six times so far this season, and saw off competition from Tammy Abraham and Ivan Toney to claim a place alongside captain Harry Kane.
England reached the semi-final stage of the 2018 edition of the competition while suffering a heartbreaking penalty shootout defeat to Italy in the final of Euro 2020. More recently, the Three Lions have been in poor form in their latest Nations League campaign, but Wilson has challenged his international team-mates to make history in Qatar.
