Rangers ace gets late international call-up as he’s parachuted in to replace £20m man

Rangers midfielder Todd Cantwell has been handed a last-minute international call-up for England, stepping in to replace Aston Villa’s £20m-rated Jacob Ramsey, who was forced to withdraw due to injury. Cantwell’s inclusion comes as a surprise, as he was initially omitted from Gareth Southgate’s squad for the upcoming international fixtures.

The 26-year-old playmaker has been in strong form for Rangers this season, playing a crucial role in their domestic and European campaigns. His performances have not gone unnoticed, and with England dealing with injuries in midfield, Southgate has turned to Cantwell to provide depth and creativity.

This call-up represents a significant opportunity for Cantwell, who has not featured for the senior national team before. Having previously played for England’s U21 side, he now has a chance to prove his worth at the highest level. With England set to face crucial international fixtures, Cantwell’s versatility and attacking instincts could be an asset.

Rangers fans will be pleased to see one of their key players earning international recognition, though they will also hope he returns unscathed from duty. Cantwell’s inclusion in the England squad highlights his growing importance and could pave the way for more international opportunities in the future.

With Ramsey sidelined, all eyes will be on Cantwell to see if he can seize his unexpected chance and make an impact on the national stage.
