Steve Holland has told talkSPORT the England door will never be closed on Wayne Rooney.

The Three Lions’ record goalscorer has been left out of Gareth Southgate’s squad for the upcoming clashes with Scotland and France.

Rooney hasn’t made an international appearance since November 2016 and has lost his starting spot at Manchester United under Jose Mourinho.

But Holland, Southgate’s number two, insists the 31-year-old could win his place back in the England squad if his form improves next season.
