[Albion] Carl Rushworth for England?

Bozza said:

Gareth Southgate is considering handing Carl Rushworth a shock Euro 2024 call-up after the keeper played his way into contention.

Jordan Pickford is England’s established No.1 but his usual back-ups are either injured or struggling for first team football. These include Arsenal ’s Aaron Ramsdale, who has lost his place at the Gunners to David Raya.

While Newcastle’s Nick Pope, who has 10 caps, has been ruled out since December with a dislocated shoulder. Crystal Palace's Sam Johnstone, who has four caps, is due to miss the rest of the season following elbow surgery.

Rather hinting at an intriguing change in the selection policy.

....all of which makes his lack of starting selection for the England U-21s even more bizarre.

Rushworth was named in a matchday squad for "meaningful" England U-21 matches on 13 occasions during 2021-22 and 2022-23 (by "meaningful" I include competitive matches, or friendlies played at actual football grounds). On 10 occasions James Trafford started and on 3 occasions Josef Bursik started. Rushworth was named as a sub on each occasion but didn't see a minute of playing time. (Bursik is now at Club Brugge but hasn't featured for the first team).

Rushworth's only cap was when he started (and played the first half only) of a behind-closed-doors friendly against Japan at St George's Park in the lead-up to the European Championship finals in Georgia. It was a glorified training session; I didn't even know it had been played until months afterwards (although the FA decided to award caps to the participants).

Surely the coaching staff at U-21 level should have given him SOME meaningful minutes during those 13 opportunities (plus 4 other occasions when he was named in the overall squad but not included in the matchday squad)?

It was tough on Rushworth, but Trafford seemed untouchable. It would be great if he does get a call-up though.

Would appear working with the England goalkeeper coach week in week out at Swansea will have given his chances of a senior call up a boost. Won’t hurt him to have a coach who knows him very well as one of Southgate’s trusted lieutenants.

Yep, he's going to be a star.

And with Beadle doing well at Massive we've got good depth.

You'd hope Rushworth will be given his chance here soon, though maybe next season another loan at a newly promoted PL team like Ipswich etc may be a good next step?

I read Luke Williams is super keen to get him back at Swansea and not surprising with those reports, but at 22 and with Bart just 21 and already playing PL I hope we move him up another rung of the ladder competively.

As for warming bench for Waistcoat, can only add to his value and improve him being around the PL keepers and coaches.

Another algorithm success it seems

Trouble with the GK position is that if we bring him back into the squad then whomever gets the nod, Bart or Rushworth, we end up with a highly promising young keeper warming the bench, and that’s no good for development.

And the last thing we want to see is another season of GK rotation, isn’t it?

Yes, Rushworth and Beadle too. Bit of a shame we got ourselves in a position where we had to shell out £20M for a GK when a year later we'd have had one, possibly two, ready to join the squad from within.

Not if rumoured interest in BV from Bayern is true. Rushworth would just be the next train at the platform if they offered £50m for BV and further vindication of the ‘project’ and its merits.
