Nathaniel Chalobah scores incredible goal while training with England senior squad ahead of Scotland friendly
NATHANIEL CHALOBAH scored a wonder-goal while training with the England senior squad today - visibly impressing surrounding players.
The 21-year-old Chelsea midfielder is in Aidy Boothroyd's U21 side to face Italy and France, but joined up with the senior squad along with other young players James Ward-Prowse and Nathan Redmond.
Connecting with a cleared cross during the training match, Chalobah's sumptuous volley flew into the top right corner past Tom Heaton.
It immediately sparked amazement from Manchester United winger Jesse Lingard and applause from Jack Wilshere, while Daniel Sturridge ran up to give him a high five as Chalobah himself looked rather sheepish.

He has appeared five times for Antonio Conte's side this season, but is yet to start a Premier League game for the Blues having waited years since first being signed to get his chance.
Last month he said: "If you're a youngster at Chelsea you always have to believe you are good enough, however many loans you have, because you never know what might happen."
