Everton defender Phil Jagielka says Wayne Rooney is still good enough to play for his country.
Former England striker Sir Geoff Hurst believes manager Gareth Southgate should call time on Rooney’s international career, but Jagielka can’t understand why anyone would doubt his teammate.
“He is England’s top goal scorer – I’ve been lucky enough to play with Wayne a number of times and he looks as good as ever now, as hungry as ever and hopefully that is a good sign for us,” said Jagielka.
“His teammates never doubt him, so I’m not sure why people would doubt him.
