It seems that 12 appearances and 520 minutes played for Manchester United this season was not good enough for Garreth Southage. The England manager axed Jadon Sancho from his latest World Cup qualifying matches against Albania and San Marino. And Jesse Lingard is even worse: 8 appearances, 154 minutes so he was left out too. The third player who was omitted from the list is Kieran Trippier, who played significantly more than his teammates, but was still left out.Hate won’t win! So-called football fan who spouted racist abuse to England stars is behind barsAnd while the reasons for axing Sancho and Lingard are obvious, Trippier situation has come down to a number of defenders Southgate wants to have. And considering that during the last international break he couldn’t count on defenders Harry Maguire, Reece James and Trent Alexander-Arnold due to injuries, and they are all available now this was another rational decision by the England manager. During the last brake, Man United duo Mason Greenwood and Marcus Rashford were also injured, and that’s probably the only reason Sancho was called in the first place. And with the number of available forwards for Manchester United, it seems that Sancho will have a tough time breaking into both teams any time soon, while Jesse Lingard will probably decide to go on loan again in January in order to get more playing time and earn a World Cup recall.🏴Gareth #Southgate has left 4 #ManchesterUnited players out of the #England squad that was announced today❌ Jadon #Sancho❌ Mason #Greenwood❌ Aaron #WanBissaka❌ Jesse #LingardMarcus #Rashford, Harry #Maguire & Luke #Shaw were all called up 🦁🦁🦁 pic.twitter.com/f7wQY6FJaD— FIVE (@FIVEUK) November 4, 2021 Those three players are axed for the last two games, but who was recalled? Well, basically all players who were injured the last time: Marcus Rashford, Kalvin Phillips, Harry Maguire, Reece James, Jude Bellingham and Trent Alexander-Arnold. Even thought Marcus Greenwood is having a great season in Manchester (and is probably their best player after Ronaldo), he was not called, and it seems that it was a mutual decision by the player and Southgate.„We are constantly tracking every English player that plays. He and his family felt they needed time and with the young player we are mindful of that. We believe he has a big future and has a challenge of that. We will continue to watch him closely“ said the England manager.UEFA punishes England after Euro 2020 final chaosList of the current England squad for the November internationals:Goalkeepers: Sam Johnstone (West Bromwich Albion), Jordan Pickford (Everton), Aaron Ramsdale (Arsenal)Defenders: Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool), Ben Chilwell (Chelsea), Conor Coady (Wolverhampton Wanderers), Reece James (Chelsea), Harry Maguire (Manchester United), Tyrone Mings (Aston Villa), Luke Shaw (Manchester United), John Stones (Manchester City), Kyle Walker (Manchester City)Midfielders: Jude Bellingham (Borussia Dortmund), Jordan Henderson (Liverpool), Mason Mount (Chelsea), Kalvin Phillips (Leeds United), Declan Rice (West Ham United), James Ward-Prowse (Southampton)Forwards: Tammy Abraham (AS Roma), Jack Grealish (Manchester City), Phil Foden (Manchester City), Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur), Marcus Rashford (Manchester United), Bukayo Saka (Arsenal), Raheem Sterling (Manchester City)
