Chelsea fullback Ben Chilwell is happy to be back in the England squad after missing the World Cup due to a hamstring injury.

He said watching the World Cup with Chelsea team-mate Reece James, who was also missed the tournament in Qatar with an injury, helped both players.

"In a weird way it was nice we had each other during that time because it was someone you could share the pain of missing a World Cup with," he said.

"We helped each other a lot through that experience."

Chilwell added: "Of course mentally it is very challenging.

"All footballers go through periods of their career where things are mentally challenging.

"You have got to be resilient, be strong and try come through it. That is the way I have tried to look at injuries I have had, spin them into positive situations where I can better myself mentally and physically."
