Softfootball reports that Manchester City have taken to their official website and social media platforms to congratulate Nico O'Reilly, who has earned his first-ever senior call-up to the England national team for this month's international fixtures against Wales and Latvia. This comes just after the Youngster helped the Citizens grind out a tough 1-nil victory over Brentford in the English Premier League.
Head coach Thomas Tuchel made the decision to draft in the City youngster following Reece James' withdrawal due to injury. The Chelsea skipper picked up a knock during his club's recent Premier League clash and was ruled out as a precaution.
For O'Reilly, this is a major step in what has already been a brilliant campaign. The 20-year-old midfielder, who has represented England from Under-15 through to Under-20 level, now gets his long-awaited chance to feature for the Three Lions at senior level.
