Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson says Manchester United fullback Aaron Wan-Bissaka deserves an England call.

Wan-Bissaka is set to face off against his former club with Manchester United on Saturday.

Hodgson said: There's no reason for me to say he's not ready, absolutely not. I'm pretty sure Gareth (Southgate, England coach) and his selectors are feeding back that this boy's a good player and, if we need him, this boy's ready.

We thought, when he was here, that we were talking about a potential England international right-back at some stage in the future.

"At the moment Gareth has got a lot of competition in that place, but that's how I would see him developing. I don't know how soon that will happen.

The way he's settled in so well at United has been not surprising, but very nice to see. It doesn't surprise me because I know how well he can do, but it's still not an easy task that he's accomplished."
