'It is frustrating because I want to play'

Newcastle winger Anthony Gordon says the lack of game time for England at Euro 2024 is "frustrating".

The 23-year-old came on in the 90th minute of the Three Lions' final group game against Slovenia on Tuesday night.

It was his first minutes for the side in Germany and his debut at a major tournament.

With Phil Foden struggling to make an impact in his unnatural position on the left-hand side of midfield for the first two games, many pundits and fans had been calling for Gordon to come into the team.

When he came on against the tight defence of the Slovenian side, he showed his pace and link-up play with other substitutes Kobbie Mainoo and Cole Palmer.

"I won't lie to you - it is frustrating because I want to play," he said after the match. "I think every player here does and it is difficult because we have so many good players.

"Watching from the sideline, any game at any level is hard. You just want to come on the pitch because you feel you can make an impact.

"I felt like I did when I came on. I tried to get at people, be direct and cause problems in the few minutes I got. I'll always try and do that."
