Dominic Solanke is ready insists Aidy Boothroyd as the Liverpool striker is ready for senior call up with England

Aidy Boothroyd has hailed Dominic Solanke and insists the Liverpool striker is ready to step up if Gareth Southgate calls.

Solanke's goal after 16 minutes put England in charge of a difficult Euro 2019 qualifier in Ukraine and set them on the way to a 2-0 win that means they have taken 13 points from a possible 15 to sit top of Group 4.

Southgate called Boothroyd after the game in Kiev for an update on the performances of Solanke, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Demarai Gray - whose cross led to England's second goal - and it is highly likely they will be elevated for the friendly against Brazil on Tuesday.
