I don’t think so. In football there are always senior players of the senior team, for example Kane & Maguire would be a senior player. Whereas although Rice plays for the senior team I wouldn’t really class him as a senior player. It’s confusing but that’s how I interpreted it, and the majority of people on twitter etc are thinking the same. But who knows
Nah, he’s not played for England long enough to he considered one of their senior players imo regardless. Comparisons from the scum mean nothing
