Ross Barkley Backs Himself to Return to England Squad & Lauds 'Best in the World' Eden Hazard

Chelsea midfielder Ross Barkley reckons he's in the right place to continue his development as a player and has hopes of being recalled to the England squad in the near future.

The former Everton star, who completed a switch to London in January, seems to have worked his way into Maurizio Sarri's good graces, despite not being one of the first names on the teamsheet.

Out of the Three Lions setup for well over two years now, injury issues have seen the 24-year-old go from one of England's most promising talents to the country's forgotten man. But he's keen to regain his place in the squad after missing out on the World Cup this year and has backed himself to get into Gareth Southgate's good graces.
