England pair Jamie Vardy and Gary Cahill have said they are stepping aside from international football to allow manager Gareth Southgate to bring younger players in, although neither is “shutting the door completely”.
Well that’s big of them. And if that’s the case, why bother making an announcement? Jumping before they were pushed perhaps?
According to the Guardian, Southgate told the Leicester City striker that he felt he still had a lot to offer and “we’ve not shut the door completely”.
Cahill told Chelsea TV that “if there are injuries in the future and I’m needed to come and play then, of course, I’m available”.
