'He ticks all boxes': Micah Richards delighted with Gomez's first England call-up in 4 years

Joe Gomez has been called up to the England squad after four years without a senior appearance for the national side.

Former Man City and England defender Micah Richards shared his appreciation for Gomez after the national team squad was announced.

“Big games, as a defender, you can show off," said Richards.

"When you have a good game against the best team in the league like Man City, not just one-on-one defending it’s more mentality, positioning, versatility.

“He ticks all of those boxes. He fully deserves it. Not just because he’s playing well but to overcome that injury, different positions, can be trusted alongside whoever that may be. I’m really buzzing for that.”
