Gareth Southgate has ignored calls to select Jack Wilshere in his latest England squad, preferring instead to stick with talented Tottenham youngster Harry Winks. Swansea’s Tammy Abraham is also understood to be under strong consideration.
Arsene Wenger said Arsenal midfielder Wilshere deserved an England recall after impressing in recent weeks, not least during the club’s Europa League campaign.
But Wilshere has made only one appearance in the Premier League this season and Southgate is thought to view that as too little first team football to warrant a place for the friendly double-header against Germany and Brazil later this month.
