O'Reilly sets sights on World Cup
- Published
Manchester City full-back Nico O'Reilly is aiming for a call-up into the England squad for next summer's World Cup.
O'Reilly, 20, was named in the Three Lions squad for the first time during the October internationals, but is yet to make his debut for Thomas Tuchel's team.
He scored his first Premier League goal of the season in City's 3-1 victory over Bournemouth on Sunday, which helped Pep Guardiola's side up to second in the table.
"It was a great experience," said O'Reilly. "Being around the lads, obviously meeting Thomas. I am looking forward to looking at the World Cup and trying to get myself in that squad.
"I keep working hard, that is the whole thing - to go [to the World Cup]. Just work hard at the club, try and play as much as I can. That's all I can do, really."
City striker Erling Haaland scored twice against the Cherries to take his tally to 26 goals in a prolific campaign for club and country.
O'Reilly added: "He is a machine, so clinical. As long as we keep getting the ball there and he keeps taking them chances then we should be all right."
