England skipper and striker Harry Kane has come out to blast England players who have withdrawn from the England squad. The striker is very unhappy with the player’s allegiance as he said it’s “England comes before club”.
Nine England Players Pull out of Squad List
So far, nine players have dropped out of the squad for their last two matches. Harry Kane seeing all that happened said: “I think England comes before anything. England comes before club.”
Harry Kane also said: “England is the most important thing you play as a professional footballer and Gareth [Southgate] was hot on that and he wasn’t afraid to make decisions if, you know, that started to drift from certain players.”
When asked if the desire to play for England has drifted this international break, Kane said: “Yeah, it’s a shame this week obviously. “I think it’s a tough period of the season, maybe that’s been taken advantage of a little bit.”
Adding to it he said: “I don’t really like it if I’m totally honest. I think England comes before anything, any club situation.” A couple of very good player withdrew from the squad and the reason for their decision is still unclear.
Many have said it could that they value the club representation more than that of the national team. These are the players that have withdrawn from the list. Trent Alexander-Arnold, Cole Palmer, Phil Foden, Jack Grealish, Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice, Aaron Ramsdale and Levi Colwill all dropped out.
Some players have however been called to replace them and for many its their first representation. Jarrad Branthwaite, Jarell Quansah, and Angel Gomis are called in the list.
