Loftus-Cheek: Stupid to rule England out
Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheeks is insistent that England have a chance at this summer's World Cup and that the Three Lions cannot be written off yet.
The midfielder has impressed on loan at Crystal Palace this season, and his performances have earned him a key role in Gareth Southgate's side.
"It would be stupid to rule us out. I think we have a really good squad, and the squad is young and youthful," Loftus-Cheek said.
"But we are all here on merit on how well we performed this season. In training, you look at our talent and mentality, it is frightening. We have a good chance.
"I think we are special team because the squad is still young but so good at the same time. If we can deliver when it matters, and I think the boys can do that, then we can have a really good tournament.
"Looking into the future, as we are still so young, we can really develop into a top team."
