Newcastle United defender Lewis Hall admits he is finding it hard to accept his season is over.
Hall suffered a broken bone in his foot during his side’s Premier League defeat by Liverpool at the end of last month and is now set to undergo surgery.
Hall has made 27 Premier League appearances for Newcastle this season, including 24 starts and was rewarded for his impressive early season showings with his first senior England appearance, in the 3-0 Nations League win over Greece in November.
He told Newcastle’s official website: “It’s quite hard to accept at the minute, but I’m still young and there are many opportunities ahead, I’m very confident in that.
“I haven’t had it before in my career, but watching us train every day and watching the team play is something that I’m really not looking forward to, but I’ve got so much faith in the boys to get us over the line and do what we need to do.”
England’s new head coach Thomas Tuchel will name his first squad next week for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers at Wembley against Albania and Latvia.
Hall added: “It’s gutting, especially with the games coming up.
There’s so much to play for until the end of the season and I was looking forward to them so much, so it’s devastating, not just for me but being able to help the team.
“I feel like my season’s gone well and it’s come at probably the worst time.
“I would want to continue playing but we had to look at my career and agree on what was best.
