Rice moved on to pastures in 2014 following his release from the Blues and has since gone on to flourish for London rivals West Ham, but that hasn’t stopped the pair’s blossoming relationship continuing to flourish.
Mount, too, has emerged as a first-team regular under Frank Lampard’s tutelage as the Stamford Bridge youth revolution continues to make steady progress.
The duo are now set to line up together in midfield for England in Friday’s Euro 2020 qualifier against the Czech Republic, which Hammers star Rice says will be ‘really special’.
“It’s a great young, attacking team and I’m really looking forward to working alongside the lads again and under Gareth and hopefully getting two victories,” he told West Ham’s official website last month.
“I’m delighted Mason is there too! When I got released from Chelsea, we always said ‘One day we will play together again’ and hopefully now that chance will be for England. That would be really special for me and my family.”
Gareth Southgate’s England will book their place at Euro 2020 if they win in Prague.
The Three Lions also face Bulgaria on Tuesday evening, with the threat of fan racism arising a hot topic of conversation leading up to the fixture.
