Nottingham Forest fans have given an angry response to Morgan Gibbs-White not being included in Gareth Southgate’s latest England squad.
The 23-year-old has been the standout player for Forest in their successful fight against relegation this season, after joining from Wolves in the summer. The midfielder has scored three times and provided two assists in Forest’s last six Premier League games.
Southgate was said to be keeping an eye on the Forest record signing ahead of announcing his 25-man squad for next month’s European qualifiers against Malta and North Macedonia. But Gibbs-White has not been selected for the squad, with the likes of Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze and Chelsea's Conor Gallagher preferred.

Instead, he has again been named in the under-21s Three Lions squad who will take on the Czech Republic, Israel and Germany later in the month.
The senior squad snub comes days after Sky Sports’ pundit and former England international defender Jamie Carragher called for him to be included in the squad for the first time.
Forest fans have the same feelings, believing that Gibbs-White should have been preferred to Southgate's other picks. Here is what just some had to say on social media...
James Willows : Guess Gibbs White is French then? #NFFC
Premier League Reds : Never have liked Southgate. #NFFC
Dan Bourke : Gallagher over MGW is an absolute travesty. #nffc
Oliver Adkin : He's 23 and being held hostage in the u21s. #nffc
Shaun : Gallagher and Phillips? Absolute breathtaking top 6 bias. Morgan Gibbs-White absolutely should be there. Joke of a line up. #nffc
Mikey Clarke : Would like to say I’m surprised, but I’m really not. At least 4/5 of these players have barely kicked a ball since Xmas. Absolute joke not including @Morgangibbs27 #nffc
James : Let MGW go unnoticed, as soon as he’s in the England setup the transfer speculation will be unbearable. #NFFC
Joe : Gareth Southgate is clueless, pass it on! #nffc
