COVENTRY City goalkeeper Carl Rushworth could be in line for a shock call-up to Thomas Tuchel’s next England squad.
According to talkSPORT, England have sent scouts to watch the Coventry shot-stopper in action.
The 24-year-old recently broke a club record which stood for 91 years after going 613 minutes without conceding a goal for the Sky Blues.
And the streak marked the longest run without conceding a goal of any goalkeeper in Coventry’s history.
Rushworth, who joined the Sky Blues on loan from Brighton and Hove Albion in the summer, has enjoyed an impressive start to life at the Coventry Building Society Arena.
The goalkeeper previously made one appearance for England under-21s back in 2023.
He has recorded six clean sheets in 12 appearances with the Sky Blues unbeaten and top of the Championship table.
And his form has reportedly caught the eye of England boss Tuchel with the Three Lions to play Serbia and Albania next month.
Tuchel called up Everton’s Jordan Pickford, Crystal Palace’s Dean Henderson and Manchester City’s James Trafford as his three goalkeepers in his last squad.
With Pickford England’s regular number one and Henderson featuring week-in week-out for Palace, Rushworth would likely be competing with Trafford for the third keeper spot in the squad.
Man City swooped for Paris Saint-Germain’s Champions League winning goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma late in the summer window who became Pep Guardiola’s first choice keeper in the process.
England have already qualified for the 2026 FIFA World Cup due to take place in Canada, Mexico and the United States of America next summer.
