Matty Cash is very excited to be linking up with the Poland national team after switching his international allegiance from England, so he posted another picture on his Instagram story of their training session to mark the occasion.
Poland have two FIFA World Cup European qualifiers to come against Andorra (November 12) and Hungary (November 15) and Cash is hoping to make his international debut after weeks of waiting.
The 24-year-old joined Villa for £14m from Nottingham Forest in the summer of 2020 and has gone on to make 40 appearances in all competitions, scoring one goal with three assists.
Cash has impressed since making the step up from the Championship, but he didn’t stand a chance of getting playing time with England even though he’d caught the eye of Gareth Southgate.
The right-back had too many players standing in his way of getting opportunities – Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool), Reece James (Chelsea), Kieran Trippier (Atletico Madrid), Kyle Walker (Manchester City) – so he stands a better chance of being a regular international with Poland.
Villa fans will be waiting to see his name in the starting eleven against Andorra. The Cash family may be celebrating if he starts too.
