Gareth Southgate will hold heart-to-heart talks with Marcus Rashford after axing the Manchester United star from his England squad on Thursday.
The out-of-form forward was the big-name omission from the 25-man party for the Wembley friendlies against Switzerland tomorrow week and Ivory Coast three days later. But there was a first call-up for Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi, whose team-mate Tyrick Mitchell could join the party next week.
Jadon Sancho and Kyle Walker were other high-profile casualties, although Southgate said that Walker’s omission was pre-agreed with the player and he will return for the summer internationals.
