'Surreal and great' - Jarell Quansah reacts to senior England chance

Jll Quah described his senior England call-up today as "surreal and great feeling."

The defender, alongside Liverpool teammate Jones, was named in Thomas Tuchel's squad as Lions boss for World Cup qualifiers against Albania and Latvia later this month.

Quansah named his country's provisional group last year's European Championship and was on standby, but ultimately did not feature in the tournament.

He has been on the bench for England on occasions to date but awaits first cap.

While continuing to make strides at the club level, the 22-year-old has made 21 appearances for the Reds so far this term, moving past a half-century overall. Quansah is delighted by another international opportunity.

"It's a surreal feeling," he said. "Obviously the last camp, it was to step in and stuff like that. But this one is definitely the first one where I feel part of the squad, it's a great feeling.

"Football's about ups and downs. Last time, not doing what I wanted to and being picked for the Euros... I just tried to bounce back and be in a better position for this.

"It's good to be part of the plans."
