He ought to be first choice for England in the central role.No he doesn't. He needs a good amount of minutes at the centre of a three.
He needs to show high levels of performance when called upon, he needs to show he's the second best option for England when/if they play a three.
Coady is a backup for a specialist position for England. His time on the field needs to be in that specialist position.
Though strangely I think he has probably played considerably more international minutes in a back 4 than he has as a sweeper. ( usually against relatively poor opposition)
