What’s Hot and What’s Not from England’s international break

NOT – Ross Barkley

Everton’s Ross Barkley has been in excellent form in recent weeks for his club, netting once and laying on five assists in his last nine Premier League appearances.

However, the 23-year-old once again failed to get any minutes on the pitch for his country, having to remain routed to the bench in the defeat in Germany as well as the success over Lithuania.

And it now means that Barkley, who was of course selected and not played in Euro 2016, hasn’t appeared in any of his last seven call ups, dating back to the Three Lions’ 2-1 victory over Australia in May last year.

The midfielder will surely be frustrated and disappointed not to get any minutes under his belt, but if he continues to produce the goods for the Toffees, it will only be a matter of time until he adds to his 22 England caps.
