Ian Wright has criticised Gareth Southgate's England selection process after a number of in-form stars were overlooked once again with the BBC pundit claiming 'certain player are guaranteed spots'.
Southgate named his latest Three Lions squad on Thursday afternoon ahead of this month's pair of World Cup qualifiers against Albania and San Marino.
The returns of Marcus Rashford and Jude Bellingham were the headline calls while Manchester United pair Jadon Sancho and Jesse Lingard were omitted as a result of their lack of game time.
ENGLAND SQUAD
Goalkeepers: Sam Johnstone, Jordan Pickford, Aaron Ramsdale
Defenders: Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ben Chilwell, Conor Coady, Reece James, Harry Maguire, Tyrone Mings, Luke Shaw, John Stones, Kyle Walker
Midfielders: Jude Bellingham, Jordan Henderson, Mason Mount, Kalvin Phillips, Declan Rice, James Ward-Prowse
Forwards: Tammy Abraham, Phil Foden, Jack Grealish, Harry Kane, Marcus Rashford, Bukayo Saka, Raheem Sterling

But there was also a host of in-form stars to be left out, with the likes of Jarrod Bowen and Conor Gallagher both still out of Southgate's thinking.
