How Chelsea star Conor Gallagher found out he was in Gareth Southgate's England World Cup squad

Conor Gallagher has been selected as part of Gareth Southgate's 26-man squad for the 2022 Qatar World Cup along with two other Chelsea stars.

The midfielder has had an upturn in form under Graham Potter after being demoted to England's Under-21s for the last international break. It comes as Reece James and Ben Chilwell miss out on the squad due to injury and Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Trevoh Chalobah miss out.

Gallagher has played four times for the senior side after making his debut in 2021 and scored his first goal for Chelsea last month in 2-1 win over Crystal Palace but was left with a nervy wait to find out if he would be on the plane to Qatar after Chelsea's 2-0 Carabao Cup defeat to Manchester City on Wednesday night.
