Declan Rice insists he's ready for England call-up after switching allegiance
England boss Gareth Southgate has made the first step towards giving Rice a first Three Lions call-up after applying to FIFA to change his registration from the Republic of Ireland.
Rice has admitted that the decision to switch is "the toughest decision I have had to make so far in my career". "I've got to be hopeful the paperwork goes through as well. I believe it's with FIFA at the moment, so I'm just hoping that gets through in time, and in the matches between now and the March call-ups I can do enough to maybe get in the squad.”
