Well 13 of that squad haven’t finished their season yet, what with the CL and EL finals yet to be played, so I guess he’s basically covered himself in case there are any injuries in those games

Which is fair but I mean, why not just wait till next Tuesday and release the 26 squad then? This one just feels pointless.

Been utter muck for England though.

Bit of an exagerration there. There was 1 game where he was not good and the rest although not setting the world alight he's been fine. Goal and assist and good performances in his last 2 games.

 

[Billy Dean]

Jordan Henderson's return from injury is a massive blow to England's chances.

Fair point. Maybe he wants to give all the players a “heads-up” before they start booking their all-inclusive holidays to Butlins Skegness for the summer, just in case there are injuries.

Will they be meeting up before the next announcement? If so it would make sense as that gives him a chance to run the rule over some of them before deciding.

Surprised Tomori didn't get a call if Godfrey and White did.

Not sure. Possibly. Can still just do it privately though. Just seems like a random announcement for the public.

If you support the national team while supporting a scouse club, then you need to have a hard look at yourself...
