Brentford boss Frank again pushes Henry for England call

Brentford boss Thomas Frank has continued to trumpet the England prospects of left-back Rico Henry.

The Dane has tipped the 24-year-old former Walsall defender, who was named in the PFA Championship team of the year last season, as a future international and feels he is constantly improving.

Frank said: “I think Rico is a very interesting left-back and for England I would understand if they look at him and were very aware of him.

“He needs to keep the consistency of those (good) performances. If he does that then I think at one stage he will get his England chance because, with left-backs, it is difficult to get top ones in that position.

“He needs to develop but he is lightning quick, his one-on-one defensive side of the game is crazily good and he has added goals to his CV as well. He is a very interesting prospect."
