Rashford hasn’t played for his country since the European Championship final against Italy in July last year, when he was one of three England players to miss in a penalty-shootoutღ loss.
The 24-year-old Rashford missed🍷 the start of this season because of injury and has been in and out of United’s team. He was seen trying to confront fans after Unitꦿed’s loss to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League this week.
“It’s a difficult time for him — he’s clearly not atღ his best,” England coach Gareth Southgate said about Rashfo♎rd.
Rashford’s teammate, Jadon Sancho, was also left out despite encouraging recent performances for Manchester Un🌳ited, with Southgate saying there were better options for the wide-forward positions in players like Jack Grealish, Phil Foden, Raheem Sterling and Bukayo꧅ Saka.
Marc Guehi, a center back at Crystal Palace, received a first call-up by England. Another central defender, Arsenal’s Ben White, was r﷽ecalled. Kyle Walker didn’t make the squad but Southgate said the Manchester City right back would return for games in June.
England play Switzerland on Saturday and the Ivory Coast on Tuesday, both at Wembl🌌ey Stadium.
