Jodi Jones could face England after Malta call-up


PON_News

Jodi Jones, the Notts County winger, is set to play against England in a European Championships qualifier later this month as he has been selected for the latest Malta squad.

After being instrumental in helping the Magpies achieve promotion from the National League, Jones made a permanent move to the team this summer. He has since acquired a Maltese passport through his father and went on to make his debut for the national team in September.

He has since earned six caps for Malta, featuring against reigning champions Italy and North Macedonia in the Nations League.

Now he has a chance to test himself against some of the best players in the world when Malta host the Three Lions on Friday 16 June.

England are top of Group C with two wins out of two, while Malta are bottom with no points from two games.

Furthermore, aside from the forthcoming match, Jones will actively participate in two additional games within the international break, with Malta embarking on trips to both Luxembourg on Friday, June 9 and Ukraine on Monday, June 19.

During this season, the 25-year-old player has managed to score three important goals for Notts, including a decisive goal in extra time against Boreham Wood in the play-off semi-final and a penalty in the shoot-out against Chesterfield at Wembley, throughout 18 games.

Jones will hope to impress Notts boss Luke Williams with his performances for Malta and cement his place in the League Two side next season.

This is great news for Jodi! He’s been a key player for us this season and deserves this opportunity. He has scored many goals and assisted his teammates with his creativity and vision. He has also shown great leadership and work ethic on and off the pitch. I’m delighted that he has been called up to the Malta national team and I hope he enjoys this experience.

Jodi has earned his place in the Malta squad with his performances for Notts. I’m sure he’ll continue to impress. He has been a model professional and a team player throughout the season. He has also displayed his intelligence and awareness on the pitch. He has improved immensely under our coaching staff and I’m proud of his progress. I believe he’ll be an asset for Malta as well.

It’s good to see that Jodi has been called up again for Malta. He’s a class act who will return from his international duty all fired up. Good luck to him in his three games; he should do well against Ukraine.

Jodi Jones is a classy player. I just hope if he does play, he doesn’t pick up an injury. I am sure he will be fine, but I do worry. Best of luck to him.

I like Jodi; he’s got that quality about his approach to playing, and the way he thinks before making decisions seems almost instant. I hope he enjoys the three internationals he’s on; if he bags a goal, that would be excellent too.
