Arsenal star Aaron Ramsdale has been showing off his class in England training ahead of the World Cup meeting with the United States.

On Thursday, the day before the Group B game, the England media team shared a 15-minute video of the Three Lions players training in Doha.

And Ramsdale pulled off a number of superb saves throughout the session – two of those are at 8:20 and 9:34.

The Gunners stopper then made two in quick succession, at 12:48 and 12:53. And two England teammates could be heard praising him.

First, Conor Coady could be heard complimenting Ramsdale, then Trent Alexander-Arnold lauded him too.

Ramsdale was very much a shoo-in for the England squad after his amazing work at Arsenal since joining last year.

As well as shining on the pitch and on the training ground, he is also a superb addition to any dressing room as he’s such a character.

‘Make sure you’re ready’

England have huge strength in depth at present, reflected by how Ramsdale is third-choice behind Jordan Pickford and Nick Pope.

However, time is very much on his side – at 24, he’s young, and many goalkeepers go on to play well into their late 30s.

Indeed, Arsenal legend David Seaman recently recalled his time as third-choice keeper at a World Cup as he gave advice to Ramsdale.

He told the England YouTube channel: “You’ve just got to be ready if you’re needed.

“I remember going to Italia 90 as the third-choice goalkeeper. There was Peter Shilton, Chris Woods and then me and Dave Beasant went along too.

“I knew I probably wouldn’t be needed but you’ve just got to stay right and make sure you’re ready in case you are eventually needed.”
