Southgate reveals reason he dropped Rashford from England squad

Gareth Southgate, England’s head coach, has explained why he left Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford out of his latest England squad.

Rashford is “obviously not at his best,” according to Southgate, but there is “plenty of time” for the attacker to reclaim his place ahead of the World Cup finals.

Rashford was left out of the 25-man team for upcoming friendly against Switzerland and Ivory Coast.

The 24-year-old has only scored two goals since October 30, as he battles for a starting berth under interim manager Ralf Rangnick.

“He’s in the same position as everyone else, whether they’re on the squad or not.”

“They’ve all got to play well over the next period towards the end of this season and in particular the beginning of next season.

“It is a difficult time for him. He’s clearly not at his best.

“We know a lot about Marcus anyway, we know what he can bring to us and hopefully he can rediscover the form that we know he is capable of,” Southgate said.

After winning the Champions League, Kylian Mbappé is expected to be announced as a new signing by Real Madrid the following week.

In February, the 25-year-old international athlete made his choice. He can now be regarded as a new Real player because every document has been completed, sealed, and signed.

As per media reports, Kylian Mbappé joined Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer. “.. I wanted to announce to you all that it’s my last year at Paris Saint-Germain. I will not extend and the adventure will come to an end in a few weeks. I will play my last game as Parc des Princes on Sunday,” Mbappe said in a video statement on X.

“It’s a lot of emotions. (For) many years I had the chance and great honour to be a member of the biggest French club, one of the best in the world which allowed me to travel here,” Mbappe added.

“It’s hard and I never thought it would be this difficult to announce that I will leave the country, France, the league and the Championship. But I think, I needed this, a new challenge after seven years.”
