Newcastle United star Callum Wilson will be able to take encouragement from Gareth Southgate's latest vow to players who did not make the squad for this summer's UEFA Nations League campaign.
Wilson returned to action after a calf injury and played in Newcastle's final three matches, scoring twice against Burnley on the final game of the season, but his tally of matches was deemed insufficient to be involved in Southgate's pre-World Cup plans.
After tonight's clash with Hungary in Wolverhampton, England will have just two matches left, both Nations League games, for Wilson to potentially force his way into the World Cup squad.
