Chelsea star Reece James aims subtle Twitter dig at Gareth Southgate's England World Cup snub

Reece James has sent a subtle dig towards Gareth Southgate about his decision to leave the Chelsea star out of England's 26-man squad for the Qatar World Cup.

The full-back sent a message out via social media earlier in the week to describe his frustration, writing: "Devastated. The minute I injured my knee, I knew the turn around to make the World Cup would be tight, but I always felt it was possible.

"I've worked harder than I ever thought I could to give myself the best chance of going and truly believed | could help the team. I appreciate there was risk on both sides but it was one I was willing to take. Good luck to the boys. I'll be back soon. Stay safe & sending love."
