Trevor Sinclair has described Callum Hudson-Odoi as 'arrogant' after the Chelsea winger rejected an England under-21s call-up this month.
On Thursday, Three Lions manager Gareth Southgate confirmed the FA had wanted to select Hudson-Odoi for under-21 duty.
But the Chelsea forward — who has three senior England caps — does not want to be considered for Lee Carsley's squad as they take on Czech Republic and Georgia this month.
Sinclair has led the criticism of Hudson-Odoi, who has seen his game time increase for Chelsea in recent weeks, in the aftermath of his decision.
