He\u2019s probably a bit cautious in that respect, but I can understand why.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/09\/21\/77623649-12731869-Reece_James_turned_down_the_chance_to_join_the_England_set_up_in-a-23_1699565746191.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Reece James turned down the chance to join the England set up in the international break<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/09\/21\/77626205-12731869-image-a-30_1699565917751.jpg\" height=\"424\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>The Chelsea captain is working back to full fitness after his latest injury complication<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/09\/21\/77623911-12731869-image-a-29_1699565862431.jpg\" height=\"425\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Gareth Southgate admitted James has put his place at &#8216;risk&#8217; by turning down a call-up<\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>Expanding on the issue, Southgate added: \u2018There is (a lot of talent ahead of James) and that\u2019s the risk. He\u2019s only got one more squad before the Euros. So he knows that. We\u2019ve got belief in what he can do.<\/p>\n<h3>England squad in full\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p><span>Goalkeepers: <\/span>Sam Johnstone, Jordan Pickford, Aaron Ramsdale<\/p>\n<p><span>Defenders:<\/span> Levi Colwill, Lewis Dunk, Marc Guehi, Harry Maguire, Fikayo Tomori, Kieran Trippier, Kyle Walker<\/p>\n<p><span>Midfielders:<\/span> Trent Alexander-Arnold, Jude Bellingham, Conor Gallagher, Jordan Henderson, Kalvin Phillips, Declan Rice<\/p>\n<p><span>Forwards: <\/span>Jarrod Bowen, Phil Foden, Jack Grealish, Harry Kane, James Maddison, Marcus Rashford, Bukayo Saka, Ollie Watkins, Callum Wilson<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We did discuss (reporting for duty to attend team meetings) and he was very keen to make clear, \u201cLook I don\u2019t want you to think I don\u2019t want to be there\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We had a really good long conversation and exchange of messages after that as well. But I\u2019m very understanding. His injury record, you can see the number of matches and the different phases (he has missed). So we are all conscious that we want to have a fit Reece that can play consecutive games.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Physical reliability is going to be really important. I think we will always manage a player as well as we can but there is a reality around his training at the moment. He plays and there\u2019s a couple of days\u2019 recovery.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018There\u2019s a little bit more angst from his side. I totally get that. We would have loved to have him with us, don\u2019t get me wrong. But I\u2019m perfectly calm with the conversation.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>There was a starker warning for out-of-favour Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale, who has lost his club place to David Raya.<\/p>\n<p>Ramsdale is recognised as Jordan Pickford\u2019s main understudy, but his lack of action at Arsenal has cast doubt over his position in England\u2019s plans ahead of the European Championship.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We\u2019re just going to have to see how it is. I had that conversation with him in the last camp,\u2019 said Southgate. \u2018He\u2019s still battling to be the No 1 at Arsenal, and his profile and the way he can use the ball with his feet, we like and think is important.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/09\/21\/77623671-12731869-Aaron_Ramsdale_was_also_warned_about_his_place_in_the_national_t-a-26_1699565765406.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Aaron Ramsdale was also warned about his place in the national team after losing his spot at Arsenal<\/p>\n<p>\u2018But there is a reality as a keeper, if we get to March and he\u2019s six months without playing regularly, then I\u2019m never going to promise things that I couldn\u2019t guarantee delivering. So he knows that, he\u2019s perfectly realistic about that.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Southgate has given a recall to Newcastle striker Callum Wilson, with Eddie Nketiah losing his place. There was no room for Wilson\u2019s in-form clubmate Anthony Gordon, nor Chelsea duo Cole Palmer and Raheem Sterling.<\/p>\n<p>Southgate denied suggestions of a rift between him and Sterling after he was left out for the fifth consecutive squad.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Who am I leaving out to put him in? He wasn\u2019t available in March or June so the team had started on a good run.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We won in Italy for the first time in 60 years. The two performances in June were excellent. We\u2019ve stuck with that group pretty much through this qualifying campaign.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/09\/21\/77623669-12731869-Callum_Wilson_was_handed_a_recall_after_a_return_to_form_with_Ed-a-28_1699565780115.jpg\" height=\"392\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Callum Wilson was handed a recall after a return to form with Eddie Nketiah missing out\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/09\/21\/77623679-12731869-Raheem_Sterling_was_overlooked_for_a_return_to_the_Three_Lions_a-a-27_1699565776448.jpg\" height=\"418\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Raheem Sterling was overlooked for a return to the Three Lions alongside in-form Cole Palmer<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We\u2019ve deliberately not made many changes because we felt that\u2019s been fair to the guys who have been in the squad.
