The captain of the English national team, Harry Kane, has lashed out at players who have withdrawn from the England squad ahead of their Nations League matches.
Nine players Aaron Ramsdale, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Levi Colwill, Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka, Cole Palmer, Jack Grealish, Phil Foden and Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite have pulled out of England’s squad to face Greece on Thursday and Republic of Ireland on Monday night.
“Every camp people were excited to come, every camp people wanted to play for England and that’s the most important thing,” he said.
“I think England comes before anything. England comes before club, it is the most important thing as a professional footballer,” Harry Kane who is training with the squad despite concerns of an injury keeping him out of the game against Greece said.
The England captain is frustrated to be without key players for a match they must win to stand a chance of automatic promotion in the Nations League.
