Bowen’s England fate revealed

Jarrod Bowen HAS made it into the England squad.

Reports this morning suggested that the Hammers winger was set to miss out on a place in Gareth Southgate’s squad for the upcoming Nations League games against Italy and Germany.

However, those reports are wide of the mark and Bowen will be travelling with the squad to take on the two European powerhouses in the Nations League.

It raises his hopes of making the plane to Qatar, too, despite a rocky start to the season that has seen him fail to score or assist in the Premier League.

Nevertheless, Southgate has stuck with the ex-Hull winger as part of his attacking options, in a squad that has relied more on names than form.

Indeed, the likes of Harry Maguire, Conor Coady, Mason Mount, and Luke Shaw have all made the squad, despite indifferent or just downright terrible starts to the campaign.

Declan Rice is now a fixture in the squad and is also included.

Full England Squad

Goalkeepers: Dean Henderson (Nottingham Forest on loan from Manchester United), Nick Pope (Newcastle United), Aaron Ramsdale (Arsenal).

  1. Southgate is an absolute joke & has just proven he is the F.A’s puppet & has made himself look an absolute clown…………..
    He has always insisted he will pick players who are performing at the top of their game at club level , so how the hell do Luke Shaw & calamity Harry Maguire get a place in tha squad when they are not even playing for their club………..congratulations Southgate, your going the right way for the sack……absolute muppet !!

  2. I think Bowen is a really lucky man. His form this season, doesn’t deserve an England call up. It can be argued, that he doesn’t deserve his place in the West Ham team.

  3. Southgate is a loyal manager to players that served him at the end of last season. It’s the same situation with Maguire – but then the season is only a hand full of games in. With Bowen, all it will take is a goal at Everton on Sunday to change things. If that doesn’t happen, individuals will be on here next week demanding he’ll be sold in January no doubt.
