Disappointed by the growing lack of interest in the selection, in an interview, Harry Kane stigmatized his partners, recalling that the English selection should be a priority.
The captain of the England team Harry Kane regretted that the national team during the current Nations League is not the priority of the players “whatever the club’s situation”in a television interview on Wednesday. “It’s a shame (…) If I have to be honest, I don’t like it very much. I think England comes first, whatever the situation at the club.”lamented the Bayern Munich striker in the ITV Sport show.
Eight players withdrew this week from the initial list of 26 selected by interim coach Lee Carsley for the next two matches scheduled for Thursday and Sunday on Matchday 5 of the Nations League group stage. “It’s a difficult time of the season and maybe some people are taking advantage of it a little”he declared.
This rain of packages concerns Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool), Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka (Arsenal) Phil Foden, Jack Grealish (Manchester City), Cole Palmer, Levi Colwill (Chelsea) and Aaron Ramsdale (Southampton), considered to be “unavailable” according to the English federation.
In League B, England are under pressure to return to the elite. The European vice-champions were relegated to everyone’s surprise in 2022. The «Three Lions» must win on Thursday (8:45 p.m.) at the group leader in Athens, with at least two goals difference, then beat the Republic of Ireland on Sunday in London. Otherwise they risk having to go through a roadblock in March.
