Delap Left Out of England Squad

Blues striker Liam Delap has been left out of new England boss Thomas Tuchel’s first England squad.
The 22-year-old had been widely tipped to receive his first call in the party ahead of the World Cup qualifiers against Albania and Latvia.
However, Tuchel, who watched Town’s FA Cup tie at Nottingham Forest and then last Saturday’s Premier League match at Crystal Palace, has named Harry Kane, Marcus Rashford and Dominic Solanke as his strikers.
Newcastle defender Dan Burn and Arsenal youngster Myles Lewis-Skelly are the only players called into the senior squad for the first time.
Delap is likely to be included in the U21s squad, along with teammates Omari Hutchinson and Jaden Philogene.
The last Town player to win a full England cap was Richard Wright when he played the full 90 minutes as the Three Lions beat Malta 2-1 in Valetta on June 3rd 2000.
The keeper was the 12th player to win an England cap while with the Blues following, in order of their debuts, Ray Crawford, Mick Mills, Kevin Beattie, Colin Viljoen, David Johnson, Paul Mariner, Brian Talbot, Trevor Whymark, Russell Osman, Terry Butcher and Eric Gates.
England: Dean Henderson (Crystal Palace), Jordan Pickford (Everton), Aaron Ramsdale (Southampton), James Trafford (Burnley), Dan Burn (Newcastle United), Levi Colwill (Chelsea), Marc Guéhi (Crystal Palace), Reece James (Chelsea), Ezri Konsa (Aston Villa), Myles Lewis-Skelly (Arsenal), Tino Livramento (Newcastle United), Jarell Quansah (Liverpool), Kyle Walker (AC Milan, loan from Manchester City), Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid), Eberechi Eze (Crystal Palace), Jordan Henderson (Ajax), Curtis Jones (Liverpool), Cole Palmer (Chelsea), Declan Rice (Arsenal), Morgan Rogers (Aston Villa), Jarrod Bowen (West Ham United), Phil Foden (Manchester City), Anthony Gordon (Newcastle United), Harry Kane (Bayern Munich), Marcus Rashford (Aston Villa, loan from Manchester United), Dominic Solanke (Tottenham Hotspur).

Shame would have added a couple of £m onto his transfer fee when he goes in the summer.||

No surprise unfortunately.So often it seems that people get picked in England squads based on who they play for rather than current form.I’m sure Delap will eventually play for England but probably after he’s moved from us||
