Ashley Cole praises 'very influential' Chelsea FC star Mason Mount

Mount sat out England’s 1-0 victory over the Czech Republic at Wembley on Tuesday night after he was forced to self-isolate as a result of coming into close contact with Billy Gilmour during the goalless draw with Scotland last week.

The Chelsea FC midfielder had started both of England’s other two games in Group D and had produced solid performances for Gareth Southgate’s men.

Mount will be available for selection again, with his mandatory quarantine period set to come to an end before England’s last-16 clash on Tuesday night next week.

Former Chelsea FC star Cole has been highly impressed by what he has seen from Mount lately and he feels that he still deserves a spot in the team despite his lack of action in the lead-up to the next game.
