Everton's James Garner shares how he really feels about his World Cup chances for England

James Garner has enjoyed a sensational season for Everton.

As such, England manager Thomas Tuchel has rewarded James Garner with his first call-up to the senior squad.

Surely everyone is Moyes in now? 🤔

Following the announcement, Garner produced a Man of the Match-worthy performance against Chelsea on the weekend, earning plaudits from the likes of Wayne Rooney and Alan Shearer.

The 25-year-old will now join up with the Three Lions squad ahead of the friendlies against Uruguay and Japan.

That said, Garner has now shared whether he thinks there’s a chance he could go to the World Cup this summer.

James Garner says World Cup is a ‘possibility’

Garner is part of England’s 35-man squad, so Tuchel will have to cut that down to 26 ahead of the World Cup in America.

That said, it’ll be a difficult task getting into the final squad, but the Everton midfielder remains hopeful when asked about his chances.

“I don’t see why not,” Garner told ESPN.

“I think it’s a possibility but at the same time I’ve just got to keep on focusing on what I’m doing on the weekend. If I keep on playing like that then who knows.”

Should Everton actually be getting Beto tied down to a new contract? 🤔

He'll only have a year left this summer…

He added: “I think anybody who gets called up for England has to be at the level otherwise they wouldn’t be called up, especially for a nation like this.

“A lot of people think that England should be there or thereabouts in the World Cup, so to even get a call-up is such an amazing achievement and I’m just so proud to be there.

“It’ll be a little bit daunting, of course. It’s my first time but I’m just going to be myself, be positive and we’ll see what happens.”

Moyes is hopeful Garner will come back as an even better player from the England camp, as he feels being around top players will improve him.
