so there have been tough calls. because we have gone over and over as a staff. the fact is we have got some players who have been playing extremely well all season in the league and we feel other players have had stronger seasons, particularly in the last six months or so. joe wilson is with gareth southgate and the england squad today and has just been listening to what the manager s had to say. james maddison and jack grealish being left out hints at where england are strongest. i think that is right. it is an interesting atmosphere around here interesting atmosphere around here in the manicured lawns on the top of hospers lawn. sockets as he is excited and thinks the euros are in open tournament but a air of regret socket saying it was one of the hardest day of the job saying to madison and grealish they are not on the team. declan rice was speaking
