World Cup: Potter reacts to Gallagher’s call up to England squad

Chelsea’s manager has expressed excitement over Conor Gallagher’s inclusion in the England national team for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar set to start in a few days time.

While Reece James and Ben Chilwell missed chances to play in the World Cup, Gallagher was selected along with Mason Mount and Raheem Sterling.

Potter in a statement described Gallagher as a fantastic player who works hard and he believes it is a great chance for him to feature in the World Cup.

‘It’s fantastic for us, great for him,’ Potter said in a statement via Chelsea website.

‘He’s going to have a really positive experience and I’m delighted for him, he’s worked really hard. He’s a fantastic person.

‘It’s a nice story. He’s been out on loan, he’s come through the club, and to get a chance to play in a World Cup is great news.”

It is unknown if Gallagher will start when Chelsea take on Newcastle United this weekend.
