Ollie Watkins ready for super-sub role with England at World Cup

Ollie Watkins expressed his readiness to take on a super-sub role for England at the World Cup. The Aston Villa striker came off the bench to score the winning goal against the Netherlands in the Euro 2024 semi-finals. Despite being an unused substitute in England's tournament opener against Croatia, Watkins acknowledged he cannot replicate Harry Kane’s scoring prowess but is prepared to leverage his strengths. He also emphasized the tactical advantage of entering games as a substitute, noting the fatigue of opponents. England’s next match in Group L is against Ghana in Boston on Tuesday.
