The centre-back also said his family feels settled in Rome and suggested he wants to stay in Italy next season. "Obviously it's been a couple of years now, but that ambition is always there with England," he told BBC Sport. Smalling, who has 31 England caps, would face competition to make Euro 2020 from Manchester United's Harry Maguire, Liverpool's Joe Gomez, Aston Villa's Tyrone Mings, Manchester City's John Stones, Everton's Michael Keane and Chelsea's Fikayo Tomori. England's next game is a friendly against Italy at Wembley on 27 March, with their Euro 2020 opener against Croatia on 14 June.
