I’ve seen it all. A Cov fan on twitter asking if Tuchel can call him up for England

To be clear it will never happen but...

His Dad is from London and he was born there so was entirely possible, until......

(I did not know this till I looked it up) He made his full international debut for Sweden on 12 January 2023, appearing in the second half as a replacement for Jacob Widell Zetterström in a friendly 2–1 win against Iceland.

However, a switch may still be possible even if they have played competitively at senior level under Article 9 of FIFA if....
  1. the player held the nationality of their new association at the time of their first official appearance for their first national team.
  2. the player played in no more than three competitive senior games before the age of 21.
  3. the player has not played in the final stage of an official tournament such as the World Cup, European Championship, Copa America etc.
  4. at least three years have passed since the player's last senior appearance for their previous national team.

Will still likely be a few months before he's even considered for actual game time.

Any news on him? Is he gonna be back for the fa cup game? Wanna see him play again especially if we might need him to start next season if rushworth deal can't become permanent.

Dovin was our #1 keeper and getting plenty of plaudits...the future looked genuinely bright for him, Cov, and Sweden.
A bizarre injury, which turned into an ACL, keeps him out for 9 months.
In the meantime, we loan in what turns out to be a fantastic replacement, with talks of trying to make things permanent.
Chances are he'll become #2 choice now, and if he's unhappy with that, will look for a transfer away.
It just shows you how fickle fate is, and why footballers often take the money option in their short career...one injury can hugely change the direction of your career.

There's no reason why he can't continue where he left off. If / when he is ready he will play in the cup, and may even get a few league appearances towards the end of the season if we are in a position to do that without too much risk.

Or if be bides his time and trains well, he could even dislodge Rushworth as number one if he puts in good performances

Some game time would make sense, especially if Rushworth is still a Brighton player at the end of this window, because if we haven't got an option to buy that probably means we won't get him, or at best it would mean we wouldn't be negotiating until the Summer. And anyway I doubt either keeper would be happy as a no.2

I’d argue he’s just as good if not better than Rushworth.

Dovin has certainly got better distribution as Rushworths is erratic.

That being said Rushworth’s cross taking and rushing out of his box is better than Dovins so it’s swings and roundabouts.

I think that Dovin has a higher ceiling and will defo improve. Whereas Rushworth is probably is at the height of his powers now.

Dovin was looking really good before his injury. Think Rushworth shades it taking crosses at the moment.
Injuries are scary things for footballers, as some are never the same again. Goalkeepers usually less likely to lose their form.

I think we are all hoping that Brighton will just sell Rushworth to us at end of the season.. I think currently that's unlikely.

Secondly we are very lucky to have Dovin on the path to recovery, fighting to get his place back. Some on here were saying that he was destined to be pinched by a PL team, so hopefully he will go up with us and be successful.

Interview with Dovin. Feel sorry for him. Hope he gets through this.

Good to hear how head-screwed-on Lampard is.
What does Lampard say to you now? Do you talk a lot?
- No. We've talked a little here and there. But his focus is of course on the team. He is a very good coach and from my point of view, he always has a very big focus on the next game, says Dovin and continues:

"It doesn't feel like he's enjoying our victories that much. I can see that he is happy when we have won, but the next day the focus is on the next game. The team is doing well now and I think he has a lot to think about. His focus is where it should be and I have to take care of my part.
