Curtis Jones in a recent interview has spoken about his call-up to the England squad.
Curtis Jones has been a player on the rise for Liverpool this season.
The 24-year-old midfielder has stepped up under Arne Slot, delivering consistent performances in a competitive midfield.
His hard work has now earned him a spot in Thomas Tuchel’s 26-man England squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Albania and Latvia.
Jones made his senior England debut in November under interim boss Lee Carsley, scoring against Greece in the Nations League.
His inclusion in Tuchel’s first squad is a sign of the German manager’s faith in him.
The two had a Zoom call months ago, where Tuchel praised his performances and encouraged him to keep going.
Curtis Jones reacts to England call-up: “It’s shows I am…”
Speaking to The Athletic, Jones expressed his excitement about the call-up.
“I’m buzzing. To get called up shows how well you’re doing for your club,” he said.
“It shows I am on the right path. I just need to keep working hard.”
Jones’ call-up comes just days after Liverpool’s Champions League exit to Paris Saint-Germain, where he missed a penalty in the shootout.
But the setback didn’t shake his confidence.
“I’m a confident lad. I’ve got trust in myself. I want the team to rely on me,” he said.
His mentality has been shaped by challenges.
He has fought through injuries, doubts, and competition for places.
Now, he’s a key figure in Liverpool’s push for the Premier League title.
With his England call-up, Jones is proving he belongs at the top level.
Jones was not the only Liverpool man who received a call up to the national team.
Liverpool youngster Jarell Quansah also got his first England call-up under Thomas Tuchel and will be looking to impress.
It’s a sign that the boys are doing something right.
And with the Carabao Cup final coming up, they’re presented with a chance to add silverware to an already impressive season.
