Aston Villa manager Unai Emery feels that Ollie Watkins' form warrants an England recall for the striker.
Ollie Watkins has scored seven goals in 11 games for Aston Villa so far this season and has not played for England since March 2022.HSK Zrinjski visit Villa Park in the Europa Conference League on Thursday, five days after Watkins' hat-trick against Brighton.
Gareth Southgate also names his England squad for the internationals against Australia and Italy on Thursday. "I am very happy with him and his commitment to the club is really great," said Emery of the 27-year-old."He's closer to going with the national team I think because he's started the season very good.Villa sit fifth in the Premier League after seven matches, but were defeated 3-2 in their Conference League opener by Legia Warsaw."For me it's about trying to write a new history here," added Emery, who has won the Europa League four times.
"And playing in Europe, the difficulty is every team is very excited in Europe, and to play against Premier League teams is a challenge."It's not about thinking to play under pressure, it's about needing to play well, to play with personality, to try to impose our idea and get those three points.
