England will maybe only regret letting one of these players slip through their fingers, but here are six players at the World Cup in Qatar who were eligible to play for the Three Lions.
Another Welshman who could have played for England, Nottingham Forest’s Brennan Johnson is one of the best young players in the Premier League but has not shown his true potential in the top flight after a terrific stint in the Championship.
After playing for England’s u16s and u17s, Johnson then joined up with Wales at two youth levels before declaring for their senior squad and making his debut for the Dragons in November 2020 as his nation drew against the USA. The Forest youngster is joined by Wales teammates Ampadu, Chris Mepham, Jonny Williams, Joe Morrell, Matthew Smith, Sorba Thomas, Daniel James and Kieffer Moore as players who were once eligible to play for England.Just the third player here to be involved in that fixture on Monday night, Reyna is one of many promising young players for the US. Son of former Rangers, Manchester City and USA player Claudio Reyna, Giovanni was an unused substitute in the World Cup Group B encounter.
