Farke Hails Calvert-Lewin After England Recall Under Tuchel

Daniel Farke has praised Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s resurgence after the striker earned a place in Thomas Tuchel’s latest England squad, describing the forward as “like a good wine”.

Calvert-Lewin’s recall follows a strong run of form at club level, with the former Everton striker again pushing his case for international involvement. The England call-up is a significant reward for his recent performances after a period in which injuries and inconsistent availability had interrupted his progress.

Farke said Calvert-Lewin has improved with time and experience, comparing the striker’s development to a wine that becomes better as it matures. The manager’s assessment reflects the value of the forward’s renewed sharpness and influence in attack.

Tuchel’s decision to include Calvert-Lewin gives the 28-year-old another opportunity to establish himself in the England picture. He has previously represented his country at senior level and was part of the squad that reached the Euro 2020 final.

The striker will now look to carry his club form into the international camp as England continue their preparations under Tuchel.
