Michail Antonio has been speaking on his team mate James Ward-Prowse getting snubbed by Gareth Southgate in the recent England squad selection.
Ward-Prowse has had a terrific start to the season. He’s scored two and assisted three after just eight games to the season. Ward-Prowse joined West Ham in the summer from relegated Southampton. West Ham coach Kevin Nolan had his say on the England snub but now team mate Antonio expresses his disbelief:
“I am upset with Southgate,” he said on The Footballer’s Football Podcast. “The stats say that Ward-Prowse is doing everything week in week out to play for England so it is mad he has not been picked.
“I think that when you are playing at your best you should be rewarded and for me that is England. He has been unbelievable.
“I understand managers like to pick players they trust, but he has got players in there who are not even playing. I do not like that.”
“If I was James now [and got picked], I would not go,” he said. “I am being deadly serious. There is no bigger honour than playing for your country but I would not want to play for the man. Multiple times he has done everything and multiple times he has been overlooked.”
