English didn’t pick all 26 players for the Euros, and Jack Grealish and Liverpool’s Jarell Quansah were two of them.
Wayne Rooney, who used to play for Everton and Manchester United, has said bad things about how Gareth Southgate is managing the England team.
Players like Jack Grealish, James Maddison, James Trafford, and Curtis Jones, all from Manchester City, were let go from the England camp after being told they wouldn’t be going to Germany. After picking Jarell Quansah, a defender for Liverpool, for his first international game against Iceland, Southgate decided to keep him.
He was a surprise addition to England’s provisional team for the European Championships this summer. The 21-year-old trained with the Three Lions after last week’s 3-0 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina. However, Quansah was left off England’s squad for the event along with Jones, a teammate from Liverpool.
Still, Quansah wasn’t picked for England’s friendly at Wembley on Friday, and he stayed on the bench the whole time as they lost 1-0, just nine days before their first game in Group C against Serbia in Gelsenkirchen.
Southgate’s choice not to play Quansah against Iceland was seen by Rooney as bad management, which made the back look clearly upset. When asked about what happened, Rooney said on The Overlap, “That’s why I think Gareth should have sent them all home after telling them they wouldn’t be picked.”
“After the game, I watched Quansah because I was on the side of the field watching TV. I saw every player walk around the field after the game.” Now that the game is over, Quansah goes in.
“Right away you go through a split. He likely saw that no one got hurt, and I felt bad for him because he was probably taking a shower and leaving alone.
“Gareth should have told them to go home and be ready in case someone gets hurt. He should have also told them to wait 24 or 48 hours and told them that if someone gets hurt, I’ll call them.” “Otherwise, take your vacation.”
