Mount made his first two appearances at senior level for England in the last international break, and Sky Sports claim he’s now going to start for Gareth Southgate’s side for the first time on Friday evening.

England are away to Czech Republic for this Euro 2020 qualifier, and Mount will no doubt hope to make a positive impact.

Other Chelsea youngsters such as Tammy Abraham and Fikayo Tomori also made it into Southgate’s squad this time, showing just how well the Blues have done in promoting and developing their academy talent this season.

It looked like their transfer ban could really hurt them this season, but new manager Frank Lampard has got the best out of Chelsea’s youth and England are now feeling the benefits too.
