Gary Neville believes England boss Gareth Southgate has made a mistake by overlooking Phil Foden - his squad’s “best talent by a mile”.
Foden has not been selected in England’s starting line-up for each of their opening two World Cup matches. The Manchester City playmaker had to wait until the 70th minute until he was introduced as England demolished Iran 6-2 in their opening match of the tournament.
The 22-year-old replaced Mason Mount in the opening group game, but the Chelsea star was once again preferred from the start in Friday night’s clash against the USA. Furthermore, Foden was not among the first substitutes brought on as England laboured against their opponents – with Jack Grealish and Jordan Henderson the first substitutes to be introduced.
