Assumed for so long, but now almost a surprise, but with Tarkowski and Pope both out injured and Hart clearly no longer in the plans - we've got an England squad with no Burnley players although Michael Keane returns to join Kieran Trippier.

With Wayne Rooney selected, I wondered whether Martin Dobson might get another call up.

No real surprise there CT, none of our English players are not playing well enough to turn Southgates head, Corky and Tarks are badly out of form, at least they wont pick up injuries on international duty but lets hope a return to some kind of improvement this weekend from all our lads.

No Heaton either...that might surprise some

How do I get rid of these two attachments?

I wouldn't expect Cork to make another squad to be honest, Tarkowski is currently injured.

Yeah did all that but my computer is a particularly well built one, so got it back on the desk and the poxy things are still there

Hart should be in there over Butland. Cant argue with any other omissions.

Rooneys better than 2 or 3 of them call ups.

How does harry winks get in the england team too?

He may well be, but he chose to pack it in at international level - the good news is, he won't be starting the game. I think bringing him back like this is a joke.

What about Jimmy Anderson? He's still going strong for England.

Hopefully he prooves a point

The right call. Cork actually did quite well when he played for England but he's been out of form for us for a while. Tarkowski should be nowhere near it at the moment.

Its only like us with Leighton James!

if Pope was fit and playing Butland wouldn't get a look in

Tarks wasn't exactly displaying England form before he was injured.
Corks been poor for a while now.

I don't think Pope will progress once fit.

No basis, just a feeling he will be a bench warmer at best.

'Arry Winks sounds like a good old London boy, nothing the media love more.

Tarks is injured. He has been poor the last two games (probably partly because he is playing injured) but excellent generally this season in my view. Certainly would be in with a shot of not injured.

Who have thought before SD took over six years ago we'd be disappointed that we didn't have any current players in the England squad?

If they don’t buck up soon there’ll be no Clarets in the Premier League either.

Who would have thought that before SD took over six years ago I'd be six years younger than I am now and six years older than I was then!

I suppose some irony that Keane is probably taking up Tarkowski's place.
