These 4 players will be disappointed with Gareth Southgate’s England squad

Charlie Austin

Will Charlie Austin ever get a game for England?

The Southampton forward has been remarkably unfortunate in recent years not to get a chance in the national team, and his form in the last few weeks suggests that he has once again been a bit unlucky.

The former QPR and Burnley forward had netted five goals in four games prior to the Saints’ 0-0 draw at Leicester City on Sunday, scoring twice in both the Europa League and the Premier League, and once in the EFL Cup.

He got a call-up in May last year for the friendly against the Republic of Ireland and Euro 2016 qualifier in Slovenia, but did not feature in either match.

He has wrestled the starting berth from Irishman Shane Long as a result of his good form and, alongside the injury to Kane, this was perhaps as good a chance as any to get into the squad and showcase his talent on the international stage.

Consequently, Austin will likely be disappointed to get overlooked, but continuing to score goals in a good Southampton team will surely give him ample opportunities to prove his worth to Southgate in the future.
