Aston Villa boss Gerrard insists Mings can make England World Cup squad

Aston Villa boss Steven Gerrard insists Tyrone Mings can play his way into England's World Cup squad.

Gerrard says Mings should be an England starter.

"I watched the England games really closely and there was one player on my mind through them," he said.

"I know for a fact that Tyrone would have been thinking the same - that if he keeps this form up, for me, he plays.

"He doesn't just go in the squad, he plays. If he brings his best attributes and keeps his form, in a back three, Tyrone can play in that team, for sure. He's got all of the attributes in his locker."
