Kind of irrelevant when he’s almost guaranteed to be out injured next summer anyway.
Southgate threw pope in the doghouse for this reason too apparently
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.
Tbf, what competition? Trent? Okay fine. But Southgate has proven he won’t call up anybody new or trust anybody new. He won’t play Trippier over Reece James (at RB anyway). This is just posturing.
Probably the media searching for a headline, this. We’d be stupid not to go into the tournament without our best right back (if fit).
Reece James doesn’t play risk game
