The 30-year-old thinks the Arsenal striker's nclusion sends the wrong message to players at smaller clubs, and revealed his own personal struggles
Watford's Troy Deeney was disappointed to see Danny Welbeck picked ahead of him for England for the recent international matches.
Deeney has scored twice and picked up an assist this season as the Hornets have made an impressive start to their Premier League campaign and sit in fourth place.
However, his form was not enough to warrant a call-up for the recent games against Spain and Switzerland, and Deeney thinks Gareth Southgate's selection of Welbeck, who has yet to start in the Premier League for Arsenal this season, sends the wrong message to players at smaller clubs.
