England can become world class – Loftus-Cheek

The Chelsea midfielder believes the Three Lions can challenge for top titles, while he has praised one Spanish player who caught his eye on Saturday

Ruben Loftus-Cheek believes that if England can fulfil their potential they can challenge for top honours.

During the summer, they finished fourth in the World Cup, falling to Croatia in the semi-finals and then Belgium in the playoff for bronze.

They started their Nations League campaign with a 2-1 loss against Spain at Wembley on Saturday and on Tuesday tackle Switzerland.

Loftus-Cheek aims to replace the injured Dele Alli in Gareth Southgate's starting XI for the midweek friendly and has been impressed with the squad.
