Gareth Southgate has admitted there are other players "ahead" of Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho after the Manchester United stars were omitted from the England squad.
Rashford and Sancho did not make the 25-man list for the friendlies against Switzerland and Ivory Coast later this month. Manchester City ace Kyle Walker was also omitted from the squad, while U21 captain Marc Guehi has received his first senior call-up.
"There are other attacking players in our squad who are ahead of him in our opinion," said Southgate when asked about Sancho. The 21-year-old's omission is a surprise having scored two goals and provided three assists in his last six Premier League outings.
