Leeds United striker Patrick Bamford is on the brink of an England call.
Bamford's superb form in the Premier League could earn him an England call-up if Marcus Rashford is not fit enough to join up with Gareth Southgate's squad, says The Times.
The Manchester United striker suffered a shoulder injury during his side's 3-1 win at Everton on Saturday. It is the latest injury blow to Southgate, who is also without Danny Ings for this month's matches.
That has left Bamford in prime position to take up Rashford's slot if he cannot make it. Rashford is due to be looked at by United's medical staff on Monday.
The Leeds United striker will reportedly be competing with Leicester City's Harvey Barnes, who was in Southgate's previous England squad, as well as Newcastle's Callum Wilson for the final place.
