Harry Kane said that playing for the national team should be more important than playing for the club. Earlier it became known that 9 players of the England national team will not take part in the national team training camp.
Arsenal`s Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka, Chelsea`s Levi Colwill and Cole Palmer, Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold, Manchester City midfielders Phil Foden and Jack Grealish and Southampton goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale will not take part in the Nations League matches against Greece andIreland due to various damages.
It was later revealed that Everton defender Jerred Branthwaite had also missed training due to injury and was out of the squad.
All the people at the training camp were happy to come and play for England, that`s the most important thing. I think England is above everything, above the club. The national team is the most important team you play for as a professional footballer.
Gareth [Southgate] took it seriously and wasn`t afraid to make decisions if, so to speak, some players started to forget about it.
It`s kind of a shame now, obviously. Yes, this is a difficult stage of the season, and perhaps they took advantage of it a little. I don`t really like it, to be completely honest, ” the England captain told ITV.
