Bobby Zamora insists Brighton striker Danny Welbeck can still rescue his World Cup dream.

The veteran wasn't considered by England coach Thomas Tuchel for the last international break, despite 35 players named for his squad.

But former Brighton striker Zamora, who now is part of the coaching staff at the Seagulls, told The Argus: “For me, when we get back together after the international break, it's sitting down with him and saying, ‘Look, how can we get you in that England squad?’.

“How can we make it that they cannot say 'No' to him and how many goals is that going to be?

“And then it's working almost backwards from that.

“Right, you're going to need X amount of chances per game. Where are these chances going to come from?

“Who are the main suppliers for you?

“Currently, over the last couple of weeks, it has come from crosses and can we focus on that?

“How can we hone that? Hone your finishing within that area, hone your movement within that area and understanding the quality of crosses that come from (Yankuba) Minteh on the left-hand side.

“Is he going to be putting it back post? Probably not. So it's getting across that front post.

“There's lots of different parts that we can look at and we can work on. "
