JWP was his captain in the U21s too. I hope he at least phoned him to say, look I've been keeping an eye on you and you're on the cusp of getting picked again, but I need you to show the form you've been showing for Southampton for longer than 10 games before I can pick you for my squad, so keep doing what you're doing and you'll get your chance.
 
"We love Prowsey. This recent spell is his best since we capped him and he's a world-class set-piece taker, but he's only recently got back in the team at Southampton."

Gareth Southgate England manager on leaving out Southampton midfielder James Ward-Prowse

What I expected the reason to be, not long enough being back in the team and firing on all cylinders.

JWP has been the highest-scoring English midfielder this year, and has recently outscored every English player regardless of their position.

I suspect the reason Southgate is ignoring him is because he doesn’t want to play him as an attacking midfielder, which James has now proven to be his best position.

As I said in the Tottenham match thread, Southgate can **** off.
