After being called back to the England team for the Nations League matches against Finland and Greece, respectively, Tottenham forward Dominic Solanke has expressed delight.
When he got the call, his mother was ecstatic, according to Solanke, who was speaking with social media outlets in England.
“(I’ve been) working, working, working,” he beamed as he discussed his journey since his last cap over seven years ago. “It’s been a good few years and it’s been a while since I’ve been here so I’m delighted to be back – back with the boys and representing my country.
“There’s still a few familiar faces and I know a few of the boys, and obviously back at St George’s Park. So it’s nice. It’s good.”
Solanke went on to talk about the moment he received the news and how happy his mother was to hear about his chance to play again for his country.
“I actually had a game on the Thursday (our 2-1 win over Ferencvaros) so I was waiting for, hopefully, the call in the morning. I got the message to give him a call. I called him, we had a chat and notified me that I would be in the squad. So from that moment I was obviously buzzing.”
“My mum. She was obviously over the moon. She’s followed my whole career so it’s a special moment for her as well.”
