DANNY ROSE reckons his value around the training camp will be enough to make England’s Euros squad.
The left-back admits he is not up to speed yet since joining Newcastle on loan from Tottenham until the end of the season.

Ben Chilwell is Gareth Southgate’s first-choice but competition is fierce with Luke Shaw, Brandon Williams and Charlie Taylor also in the running.
Rose, capped 29 times, said: “He (Southgate) really respects a good atmosphere and aura around the training camps.
“I do need to be playing well but it’s not just about performances. You could be on the road for four or five weeks so it is no good picking people who may be disruptive.
“I feel confident I will be selected but I don’t think I’m just selected on performances.
“I do bring a lot to the camps and I know he realises and values that.”
Southgate picks his squad next week for two friendlies against Italy and Denmark ahead of the Euros at the end of the month.
The Three Lions boss was at St. James’ Park for a drab 0-0 against Burnley two weeks ago, one of Rose’s five starts since joining the Magpies.
The 29-year-old added: “I just wish he’d picked a different game to watch!
“I messaged him after the game and we spoke a bit. Hopefully I will get to see him next week when the next camp gets announced.
“If I’m being honest and critical then I would say I’m not playing at the level I want to be.
“It’s been a difficult few months not playing at Tottenham but I am getting in the groove again.”
