Ross Barkley believes Roy Hodgson should have shown faith in him at Euro 2016 - but has vowed to use that disappointment as motivation to kick on to the next level.
The Everton midfielder was named in Hodgson's 23-man squad for the tournament in France but did not see any action as England suffered an embarrassing exit at the hands of Iceland.
Barkley was one of only two outfield players not used by Hodgson, who stepped down immediately after the last-16 defeat.
'I'd played a lot in the qualifiers, scored as many as the midfielders there at the time, and was devastated I didn't get any game time,' Barkley said in an interview with The Times.
