Conor Gallagher, currently a midfielder for Chelsea, has yet to make his England debut at the ongoing European Championship.
Despite this, after making two substitute appearances, he is expected to start in England’s final group stage match against Slovenia.
The English midfield has been underwhelming in its performance so far, and Gallagher is anticipated to replace Trent Alexander-Arnold in the lineup.
Declan Rice, a staple in England’s midfield, has expressed his enthusiasm about playing alongside Gallagher.
Rice remarked on his experience playing against Gallagher when he was at Crystal Palace and Chelsea and recalled their time together in the academy team.
He praised Gallagher’s work ethic, saying, “He works his socks off. You feel so safe and secure in there with him.” Rice also noted Gallagher’s impressive on-ball skills and his ability to break forward, get into the box, and score goals, highlighting the midfielder’s development and surprising many with his talents this year.
Rice’s positive remarks underline the potential impact Gallagher could have on the team, as they look to strengthen their midfield and improve their performance in the tournament.
