Danny Welbeck has been urged to make a late push for a World Cup place.

The Albion striker will lead the attack at Anfield today in his first appearance at the venue for the club.

Head coach Roberto De Zerbi admits he has been impressed by the former Manchester United man in training.

He would love to help him grab an England recall.

De Zerbi said: “I didn’t think he was such a strong player.

“I’ve read he could be among those who could be called up for England to go to the World Cup, and this thing is something that we must all feel.

“The whole squad, all the players, the staff must feel this thing to help him go to Qatar.”
