Nabil Bentaleb has insisted that Tottenham Hotspur teammate Ryan Mason fully deserves his call-up to the England squad.
The midfielder was a surprise addition to the Three Lions setup for their games against Lithuania and Italy following Adam Lallana's withdrawal.
However, Bentaleb believes that Mason is a worthy member of the squad after impressing for Spurs this season.
Congrats to @Ryan_Mason13 on the call-up you truly deserved it 👊💪👌 #HardWorkAlwaysPaysOff
