Leeds United's Dominic Calvert-Lewin's verdict on England outing v Uruguay with Three Lions return declaration

Leeds United star Dominic Calvert-Lewin has issued a beaming verdict and proud declaration about his England return with a 12-word message.

Calvert-Lewin joined Leeds as a free transfer signing last summer after ending nine years with Everton and arrived with 11 caps for England to his name but none since July 2021.

The striker, though, has seen his brilliant form for Leeds rewarded with a Three Lions recall and Calvert-Lewin made his England return as a second-half substitute in Friday night’s 1-1 draw against Uruguay at Wembley.

Calvert-Lewin was handed his big chance to shine in the 56th minute as he replaced Dominic Solanke in leading the line and the Leeds striker was quickly involved in bright link up play.

“Loved every minute”

The Leeds striker was then presented with a golden opportunity to fire England in front with a free header from a few yards out but the forward glanced his effort wide of the post.

Calvert-Lewin was, however, then involved in England’s only goal of the game, diving towards a corner which led to Ben White tapping home at the far post in the 81st minute.

White’s first goal for his country looked set to prove the winner but Uruguay were awarded a controversial penalty for a White foul deep in stoppage time and Federico Valverde converted to seal a 1-1 draw for Marcelo Bielsa’s visitors.

Taking to social media, Calvert-Lewin shared a 12-word verdict on his chance to represent the Three Lions again, declaring his England return as an honour which he loved every minute of.

Taking to his Instagram page, the striker shared two photos of himself in action with the words: “An honour to be back wearing the England shirt, loved every minute.”
