Brendan Rodgers has backed James Justin to push for a senior England call-up following the full back’s spectacular performances this season.
Justin was playing in League One until he joined Leicester from Luton in 2019 and did not start a top-flight game until December that year, but a serious knee injury to Ricardo Pereira last March gave him his chance and the 22-year-old has never looked back.
Quick, competitive and comfortable in both full back positions, Justin enhanced his growing reputation with a superb opening goal at Stoke as Leicester cruised into the fourth round.
England are well-stocked at right back, but Justin’s versatility will surely bring the youth international into Gareth Southgate’s thoughts.
