Tottenham fans react to Danny Rose’s England call-up.
Tottenham Hotspur defender Danny Rose has been handed an unexpected England call-up.
Ashley Cole’s retirement, as well as injuries to Luke Shaw, Kieran Gibbs leaves the Three Lions short of back-up for Leighton Baines.
Rose had a poor season for Tottenham last season, and his call-up is surprising for those who have not seen him play this campaign, for the left-back has actually enjoyed a pretty good start.
Knowing his place is under pressure from new signing Ben Davies, Rose has upped his game as part of a Tottenham backline which has kept clean sheets against West Ham and QPR.
Whether the former under-21 international is capable of stepping it up against higher quality opposition remains to be seen, and England manager Roy Hodgson is at leas curious enough to take a look.
Rose is one of several new faces in the England squad, along with Jack Colback, Fabian Delph and Calum Chambers.
New Spurs signing Eric Dier, who has arguably out-performed Chambers, can be considered unlucky not to be included.
