Everton defender James Tarkowski says he’s hopeful of making a return to the England squad with Gareth Southgate’s departure.
Tarkowski, 31, has played only twice for the Three Lions despite impressive performances for Burnley and Brentford during his career.
In an interview with BBC Sport, Tarkowski said that he hopes for a fresh chance with the Three Lions once a new manager is appointed.

“In the past few years, I have accepted I wasn’t going to get close to it because the manager had ideas about other players rather than me.
“But now the manager is changing, who knows? I feel like I am in my prime years to play football so we will see what comes ahead.”
The centre-back added: “I could never have expected anything that has happened here. There have been difficult times but I have loved playing for the football club.
“The fans are incredible and I am excited about what the next couple of years hold. It has been tough but I have enjoyed the high moments.”
