He made the right call, Southgate is an idiot if he’s trying to call up a player that lacks serious match fitness and has been out injured for a long time. I hate how players recover with clubs but are then rushed back to games for international friendlies.

Before people get the pitchforks up, it’s a blatant clickbait headline (as you might expect from the Daily Mail). Southgate simply referenced the fact there’s a lot of competition there, but that he completely understands his caution and is absolutely fine with it.
