MAX KILMAN is being tipped for another England call-up — and mum Maria reckons his little brother has even more potential.

Wolves centre-half Kilman has already made 25 appearances for England's futsal team and has been linked with a call-up for Gareth Southgate's World Cup-bound Three Lions.
The 6ft 5in defender has been an ever-present in a Wolves defence that has the second best defensive record in the Prem this season behind leaders and reigning champions Manchester City.
His latest reputation-boosting display came in Sunday's 2-1 win over Leicester, which has left Wanderers seventh in the table.
But the 24-year-old says his little brother is the one to really keep an eye on.
He said: "My mum says he’s like the upgraded version of me as a kid - he’s always been bigger, faster, stronger and more confident.
“It’s good. I want him to be better than me. I’ll be happy if he is.”

Kilman was rejected by Fulham as a teenager and played non-league football with Maidenhead United alongside his national team futsal duties before Wolves signed him in 2018.
The London-born star, who has been linked with a move to Chelsea, once thought he also qualified to play for Russia and Ukraine through his parents, but now knows that is not the case.
He explained: "Football and futsal are both regulated by Fifa.
“I’ve already represented England in a World Cup qualifier, so I couldn’t change nationality. I can only play for England.”
