Ollie Watkins Boosts World Cup Hopes After Strong Goal Scoring Run
Posted : 17 April 2026
Ollie Watkins remains hopeful of earning a place in England’s World Cup squad despite being left out of recent international friendlies by coach Thomas Tuchel.
The Aston Villa striker was omitted after a difficult scoring spell but has since rediscovered form, netting four goals in four matches, including his 100th goal for the club.
Watkins says his only focus now is to keep scoring and let his performances decide his international future ahead of the tournament.
