Danny Welbeck's impressive form for Brighton has led to speculation about a potential England recall, with many fans and pundits calling for the 34-year-old striker to be selected for upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Serbia and Albania.
Welbeck, who last played for England in September 2018, has been in scintillating form, scoring six goals from seven shots on target in his last 10 Premier League games. He is now the Premier League's top scorer since a streak began on 27 September. His impressive run of form is likely to have not gone unnoticed by England manager Thomas Tuchel, who has a reputation for picking players based on their current form.
Former Premier League defender Nedum Onuoha believes that Welbeck knows he will be part of the conversation when it comes to England's striker selection, saying "You almost talk about him like he has never played for England before. He has done that job before." Meanwhile, former England forward Alan Shearer thinks Welbeck could definitely suit Tuchel's style and is in form, but also notes that there are not many obvious stand-ins for Harry Kane.
Welbeck himself has remained coy on the matter, saying "I'm feeling good" and "I've been getting the goals more than I have previously." He added that he is enjoying his football and focusing on the next game with Brighton. However, Welbeck recently told BBC Radio 5 Live that "the door is always open" for him to return to England.
The question now is whether Tuchel will give Welbeck another chance to prove himself at international level. With several other strikers struggling to find consistency in their performances, Welbeck's resurgence has raised hopes among fans and pundits alike that he could be a key player for England in the World Cup qualifiers ahead.

. He's still 34, I mean, we've seen players come back from similar situations before, but at his age you'd think he might be looking at the end of his England career 
. Still, you can't deny he's scoring goals and doing a job for Brighton. If Tuchel picks him, he should be able to deliver 
. But can he keep it up? We'll have to wait and see if Welbeck can continue his good form and prove himself all over again 
, but I'm not sure if it's enough to guarantee him a spot on the England team 
. Thomas Tuchel does like to pick players who are in form, but he also needs to consider the bigger picture 
. Harry Kane is still one of the best strikers in the world, and I'm not sure if Welbeck can be a reliable back-up for him 
. That being said, it's definitely worth keeping an eye on Welbeck and seeing how his form holds up over the next few games 
. If he keeps scoring at this rate, maybe Tuchel will reconsider calling him up 
!
๏ธ. Let's just wait and see how things go down before making any judgments 
.
I mean, the dude's been doing well for Brighton, no doubt about it. But 34? Is this really what we need in the World Cup? 
On the other hand, if Welbeck's feeling good and enjoying his football, more power to him! Maybe Tuchel will give him a shot. We'll just have to wait and see how things play out 
He's been on fire for Brighton and it's hard to ignore his goals. I think Tuchel would be crazy not to consider him for the England team, especially with all the other strikers struggling to score consistently. But at the same time, you've got Harry Kane who's a top player and you don't want to drop him just yet... 
. It's not like he's asking for an unfair advantage or anything 
, he's just been in decent form recently. Maybe Tuchel should take another look at him before making any final decisions 
. I'm not convinced Kane is the only option either, there are plenty of other talented strikers out there 
.
. anyway, i'm rooting for welbeck to get back into the england squad and show everyone what he's capable of 
... I mean, what are the chances that Tuchel actually puts Welbeck back in the starting lineup? Like, think about it, Welbeck's been out of the picture for years and now he's suddenly getting hot again? It's probably just a PR stunt to get fans excited 
...
! nedum onuoha said he's done that job before, but does that even count? and yeah alan shearer thinks tuchel might give him a shot, but what about all the other strikers who aren't doing so great? 
... i'm just saying it's too early to get all excited about welbeck's potential england recall 
.
! He's been on fire in the Premier League, and Tuchel always picks players who are performing well. Plus, Kane is getting up there in age, so if he can keep this form going, Welbeck should definitely be in the mix. I'd love to see him back out there for England, he's got a good head on his shoulders and knows how to get the job done 
. And I love that he's not putting too much pressure on himself, just focusing on the next game and enjoying his football 
Like, he was totally MIA from the England squad for ages but now he's suddenly scoring goals for fun! 
and the rest of the squad isn't exactly firing on all cylinders 
plus, he's got that hunger back in his game which is music to my ears 
i hope tuchel gives him another shot, England needs a spark right now 
๏ธ
He's been on fire lately and if he can keep this form up, he should definitely be considered for the England team. It's not like he's played for England 5 years ago and suddenly forgotten how to do his job 
. Bring on the World Cup qualifiers!
