Danny Mills believes Conor Coady should ‘next on the list’ to start for England behind Harry Maguire and John Stones.
The Everton defender recently joined up with the squad for international duty, but failed to make an appearance in the defeat to Italy on Friday or yesterday’s draw against Germany. Despite a solid seven-year spell at Wolves and an encouraging start to life at Goodison Park, the 29-year-old has only picked up 10 England caps and is yet to feature in a major tournament for his country.
But the defender was part of the England squad that made it to the Euro 2020 finals last summer, and was even dubbed as player of the tournament by assistant coach Steve Holland for his qualities inside the dressing room. And with Gareth Southgate’s defensive selections once again under scrutiny, former England full-back Mills has backed Coady to make an impression.
