“I am hopeful if I can stay injury free and keep playing, getting as many games as I can”, Smalling told his club’s official site.
“Hopefully Roy Hodgson will be watching and I can be on that plane, and not only go over there in the squad but also make an impact on the tournament.”
Smalling has thus far made 11 appearances in all competitions for Manchester United in the present campaign.
