5. Picking Injury Prone Players
The title of this subheading could have just been renamed “Picking Jack Wilshere.” The Arsenal central midfielder has started just one Premier League match this season, yet he still finds himself included in the squad.
You could argue that when Wilshere puts on an England shirt, he delivers, but at the end of the day I feel as though he shouldn’t get that chance this time around. He’s been injured for an entire season, yet some players who have played well for an entire season don’t get a look.
Jordan Henderson is another who can count himself lucky to be in the squad, after he also had an injury plagued season. He did feature 16 times for Liverpool, but most of those were at the beginning of the season. The pair haven’t looked sharp enough in the friendlies.
