Everton defender Michael Keane called Gareth Southgate to find out why he was left out of the last England squad as he eyes a late run for Euro 2020

Everton defender Michael Keane has revealed he called Gareth Southgate to find out why he'd been left out of the last England squad as he eyes a late run for Euro 2020.

Keane, who has been capped 12 times, was taken aback when he wasn't selected for the triple-header against San Marino, Albania and Poland in March and decided to ask his boss why.

'I was surprised to be left out,' he says. 'I'd been in squads before and was playing well. I only found out when it got announced on Sky.
