Adam Lallana praises "fantastic" Jay Rodriguez

Adam Lallana has hailed the performances of his Southampton teammate Jay Rodriguez this season.

The striker has scored 12 goals, which in turn has earned him a second call-up to the England squad for this week's friendly match against Denmark.

Discussing Rodriguez's inclusion, Lallana, who is also part of the 30-man selection, believes that his fellow Saint is deserving of his place.

"Jay has been outstanding for us all season. He's a fantastic player to play alongside. He can play in a number of positions, which I'm sure has helped him get his England recognition," he told reporters.

The duo both started England's last match against Chile in November.
