This is a none issue, two nursing injuries and one with “illness”.
Nations league is the most worthless competition ever to exist
September international break needs to go. No one wants it – players, fans, managers.
Might as well not bother calling up established players for these matches. Under 21s and non starters for their clubs instead.
Watkins missed all of preseason and doesn’t look ready yet, so it’s not surprising. I know he would have felt like he had to go, but 2 weeks off is better for him
September international break is well shit, why do we even need it?
Wished more players would’ve done this.
It’s way too many international breaks during the season, and the majority because of worthless Nations League and friendlies. Players come back from it not up to speed and for whatever reason, we always see multiple players getting injured during it.
Luke Shaw is waiting by the phone Lee!
I’m very happy with this, Watkins needs a proper rest.
This is all Southgate’s fault.
Guessing they think their club is more important than playing for their country. Maybe that’s the reason up to this point why we have had squads that haven’t won anything for 50 years plus. Unless they are injured.
Ooh does this mean we may see Gibbs White in action sooner?
3 whole games and an international break. First question, why?
Why?
Isn’t Foden already hurt?
A Finn here. They’re probably afraid of facing our mighty squad on Tuesday!
Ohhh no anyway…… it’s a boring international friendly who cares
