Jonjo Shelvey Breaks Silence: The Untold Truth Behind His Rift with Gareth Southgate and Shocking England Snub
“I was playing the best football of my career but didn’t get a call-up. I think it all stemmed from something that happened with Gareth Southgate a few years earlier. When he got the under 21 job, I’d already played for the seniors, but I was still eligible for them.
“I’d just joined Swansea when Southgate gave me a call and said: ‘I’m not going to bring you because you’ve just moved clubs and you’ve got the Europa League qualifiers, so I’m going to look at some other players, and I also expect you to be with the senior team.’
