Michail Antonio has called Gareth Southgate's failure to call up James Ward-Prowse for England duty during this round of international ties 'embarrassing'.
The West Ham player insisted that there was no bias in his views on his new team-mate's abilities, and seemed baffled at the England manager's continuous neglect of the talented midfielder.
The 33-year-old is not alone in his viewpoint, with widespread outcry meeting Southgate's England squad announcement last week when it was revealed that Ward-Prowse would once again miss out on a place.
