Aston Villa loanee Marcus Rashford has posted on social media after returning to the England squad.
Signed until the end of the season from Manchester United, Rashford has impressed in his first five weeks at Villa under Unai Emery.
He has made nine appearances in claret and blue, producing four goal assists so far - all for fellow January loan recruit Marco Asensio.
The duo have hit the ground running at Villa, with Asensio scoring seven times in his last five games.
Rashford’s form under Emery has been rewarded with a place in Thomas Tuchel’s first England squad.
He will get the chance to impress in World Cup qualifiers against Albania and Latvia.
Posting on his Instagram story this afternoon, Rashford wrote: “Never stop believing. Can’t wait to get started.”
Speaking about Rashford’s inclusion, Tuchel said: "With Marcus, he is a familiar face but in a different situation. I felt that he had a huge impact at Aston Villa, he made a huge impact from the bench mostly.
“The impact was impressive. The physical impact was impressive and most importantly, his workrate, his defensive ability and tracking back was impressive
“I had the strong feeling that we should nominate him, bring him in and to push him to stay on that level to not fall back on old routines. This camp is to push him to stay on this level."
