Brighton keeper Beadle trains with senior England squad

Robert Sanchez's injury opens door for third-choice stopper

Brighton and Hove Albion goalkeeper Carl Beadle has been called up to the senior England squad for the first time. The 23-year-old has been in impressive form for the Seagulls this season, keeping four clean sheets in his 10 Premier League appearances.

Beadle's call-up is a reward for his consistent performances, and he will now be hoping to make his debut for the Three Lions. He is likely to be third-choice goalkeeper behind Jordan Pickford and Nick Pope, but he will be eager to impress Gareth Southgate and earn a place in the squad for the World Cup in Qatar later this year.

Beadle's rise to prominence

Beadle joined Brighton from AFC Wimbledon in 2020, and he quickly established himself as the club's third-choice goalkeeper behind Mat Ryan and Robert Sanchez.

However, he was given his chance to shine in the Premier League this season after Ryan was sold to Real Sociedad and Sanchez suffered an injury. Beadle has taken his opportunity with both hands, and he has kept four clean sheets in his 10 appearances.

Beadle's performances have not gone unnoticed, and he has now been rewarded with a call-up to the England squad. He is a talented goalkeeper with a bright future, and he will be hoping to make the most of his opportunity with the Three Lions.

England's goalkeeping options

England have a number of talented goalkeepers at their disposal, and Beadle's call-up is a testament to the depth of quality in the position.

Jordan Pickford is the current number one, and he has been in excellent form for Everton this season.

Nick Pope is another impressive goalkeeper, and he has been in fine form for Burnley this season. He is likely to be Pickford's deputy at the World Cup.

Beadle is now third-choice goalkeeper, and he will be hoping to challenge Pope for a place in the starting line-up. He is a talented goalkeeper with a bright future, and he will be eager to prove himself at international level.

Conclusion

Carl Beadle's call-up to the England squad is a testament to his impressive form for Brighton this season.

He is a talented goalkeeper with a bright future, and he will be hoping to make the most of his opportunity with the Three Lions.
