Thomas Tuchel has drafted the 18-year-old to be part of his latest Three Lions squad as they begin a new UEFA Nations League campaign with four matches over the next fortnight.<\/p>\n
Ngumoha made his international debut at senior level back in June during a friendly with New Zealand before the World Cup.<\/p>\n
“I’m delighted for Rio and it’s a special time getting called up,” former Reds captain Thompson told Liverpoolfc.com. “You do feel a little bit inhibited as a young player going away with these senior players \u2013 I’ve been there.<\/p>\n
“Rio plays with senior players at Liverpool, but when you go away with the best that England has to offer and you are a young player, you have to use that experience and listen and learn from other people and coaches \u2013 like Thomas Tuchel, who has so much experience.<\/p>\n
“I’d say to Rio: one, enjoy it, and two, listen and learn for every minute that you are going to be with the squad.<\/p>\n
“I’m just so chuffed for him. I think Rio and Trey [Nyoni] have both given Andoni Iraola great options for them both to start in matches.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Thomas Tuchel has drafted the 18-year-old to be part of his latest Three Lions squad as they begin…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":625937,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[21122,21123,7349,85,46,21118,21112,21124,21126,21125,21113,21117,21116,21111,21121,21114,21119,105,21115,21120],"class_list":["post-625936","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-alisson","tag-firmino","tag-homepage","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-klopp","tag-lfc","tag-lfc-news","tag-lfctv","tag-lfctv-go","tag-liverpool-fc","tag-liverpool-fc-match","tag-liverpool-fc-news","tag-liverpool-football-club","tag-mane","tag-reds","tag-salah","tag-sports","tag-the-reds","tag-van-dijk"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/625936","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=625936"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/625936\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/625937"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=625936"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=625936"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=625936"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
