Reece James has indirectly sent Gareth Southgate a sly dig in a comment under Ivan Toney's latest Instagram post. The duo were both overlooked by the England boss when picking Three Lions squad ahead of the World Cup later this month.
The Chelsea defender was a huge doubt for the international tournament after suffering a knee injury in the Blues' 2-0 win over AC Milan last month. James was set to be out of action for eight weeks but, after being flown out to Dubai to step up his rehabilitation, he began to recover ahead of schedule.
It's said that the Blues had been sending the FA reports to keep them updated on the right-back's fitness and knee injury. And, according to The Sun, he had been told he could be fit in three weeks.
