Well not sure what to make of this: Looks and sounds like he was just chatting and talking photos with the typical social media up load but how will going to the casino when ill look to Southgate and co? Leicester playmaker James Maddison spotted in casino after pulling out of England squad | Daily Mail Online
I'm sure that if Joe Bloggs was sent home from work because of illness and then his boss saw him sat in a casino, the boss wouldn't be too happy. Maybe he just didn't fancy travelling to Eastern Europe to play for England when he could be sat at home with his feet up (or in a casino anyway). I just don't think that representing England has the same pull as it did years ago - more of a chore these days
Joe bloggs wouldn’t have dicks selling photos to the press. England’s medics sent him home, they likely overreacted to stop what ever it was, likely a heavy cold or flu, which are doing the rounds in Leicestershire, spreading to the other players.
And btw the moment he was sent home Southgate wasn’t his boss, I doubt his actual boss had an issue with this
Euro 2020 qualifiers: England name Maddison, Stones & Oxlade-Chamberlain in squad James Maddison has been named in England's Euro 2020 qualifiers squad - despite the Leicester midfielder being pictured in a casino after pulling out of the last squad with illness. Defender John Stones, midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and winger Callum Hudson-Odoi have been recalled. England host Montenegro on 14 November and play in Kosovo on 17 November. Gareth Southgate's side are top of Group A and need one more point to secure their place at Euro 2020. England players to wear 'legacy numbers' as part of 1,000th match celebrations Manchester City centre-back Stones replaces Everton defender Michael Keane, while Liverpool's Oxlade-Chamberlain and Chelsea's Hudson-Odoi have been added to a 27-man squad. Southgate said the "squad is a little larger than normal" because there were a "couple of injury doubts". Maddison has been picked in the past three squads but is yet to make his debut for England. "He's only been in two squads," said Southgate. "He had to go home ill last time. We sent him home - he was ill. "Any suggestion he chose to go home because he wanted to go out is unfair. It's not a great decision he took [to visit a casino]. "As an England player you have a different profile. Everyone has a camera-phone and wants to make money selling pictures. "We are supporting him because we have picked him and he has to fight for his place like everybody else." Southgate added that Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish was "very close" to making his squad. "Grealish is a very good player - I've watched him closely this season," he said. "The reality is he's up against Raheem Sterling, Marcus Rashford and Callum Hudson-Odoi. "If we have any issues with the squad I wouldn't hesitate to call him up. He was very close and just has to keep playing the way he is." England squad: Goalkeepers: Tom Heaton (Aston Villa), Jordan Pickford (Everton), Nick Pope (Burnley) Defenders: Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool), Ben Chilwell (Leicester), Joe Gomez (Liverpool), Harry Maguire (Manchester United), Tyrone Mings (Aston Villa), Danny Rose (Tottenham), John Stones (Manchester City), Fikayo Tomori (Chelsea), Kieran Trippier (Atletico Madrid) Midfielders: Ross Barkley (Chelsea), Fabian Delph (Everton), Jordan Henderson (Liverpool), James Maddison (Leicester City), Mason Mount (Chelsea), Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (Liverpool), Declan Rice (West Ham), Harry Winks (Tottenham) Forwards: Tammy Abraham (Chelsea), Callum Hudson-Odoi (Chelsea), Harry Kane (Tottenham), Marcus Rashford (Manchester United), Jadon Sancho (Borussia Dortmund), Raheem Sterling (Manchester City), Callum Wilson (Bournemouth)
Wow. So little in the confrontation yesterday considering Gomez had only just come on. To carry it with you into the England camp is very foolish with a tournament in 8 months.
Oh dear Raheem, losing your little temper again when things don't go your way. Thats a shame. Now go and sit in a corner and play with your toys and let the men talk.
Looks like poor man management from Mouthgate. Get them in a room and talk it out. Sending a player home, despite what he might've done, makes it out that someone is in the wrong. Also, the resentment grows.
