Long time serving winger Raheem Sterling didn’t receive a call up in the squad. The player had hoped to be in the squad after having a good start this season at Chelsea but according to Gareth Southgate his latest performance was not enough to earn him a call-up as it is believed the summing up of last season’s performance and the current one could have played a major role in his selection. The England coach defended his decision by saying that “It’s a difficult call. Raheem isn’t particularly happy about it and I understand that. I’m convinced he’s going to have an excellent season at Chelsea.”
Three players from Chelsea were also called up in the squad where Levi Colwill got a shocking call up as he was handed his first call up to the team after a continuing good run of performance including winning the under 21 euros.
