Tbf it's not a summons - they could have all made themselves unavailable for selection if they wanted to (I believe Hendo did this last summer, whereas Trent said he wanted to still join up). If they said thanks but no thanks then he could pick other players, but why should he not select them if they're willing to play? Sterling ruled himself out of this squad, the rest of them all have a choice tooIt's the world cup that's effed it all up. Bang in the middle of the season making the season later and the gap between the end and pre season shorter. If it had been in the summer, then the euro qualifiers would have been at another time instead of now. Plus if Gareth had depth to his England squad then players could be spared for these qualifiers but he picks the same old team
