So once again, an England squad is decimated by injuries just a few days before some frankly meaningless internationals. It is difficult to blame clubs for withdrawing players who might well figure for them in a league game especially when they have a lot of injuries already but at the same time we need our best team to represent the country. As a Villa fan I am pleased to see Morgan Rogers called up, but at the same time I worry about injuries. The solution has to be less football so that we are able to put out our best team more often in internationals and for the clubs we pay money to support. Scrapping this ridiculous extra international competition and making the League Cup just for Championship and lower would be a start.

Crystal Palace midfielder Justin Devenny has been called up to the Northern Ireland squad for the first time for the forthcoming Nations League double-header against Belarus and Luxembourg.
His addition to manager Michael O'Neill's group completes a memorable couple of days for the 21-year-old after he made his Premier League debut for Palace against Fulham at the weekend.
The Scotland-born player, who qualifies for Northern Ireland through his mother, played from the start in his club's 2-0 defeat by Fulham at Selhurst Park on Saturday before being substituted after 74 minutes.
Devenny was a regular for Northern Ireland's under-21 team during their recent European Championship qualifying campaign and comes highly recommended by their manager Tommy Wright.

Ruud van Nistelrooy has left Manchester United after not being given a role in new manager Ruben Amorim's backroom staff.
The 48-year-old Dutchman took over at Old Trafford on an interim basis after compatriot Erik ten Hag was sacked.
Van Nistelrooy, who joined United as an assistant coach in July on a two-year deal, managed three victories and a draw in his four games during his time as caretaker boss.
However, Amorim has decided against retaining the services of former Netherlands striker Van Nistelrooy, who spent five seasons at United as a player.
"Ruud is, and always will be, a Manchester United legend," the club said in a statement which confirmed Van Nistelrooy's exit.
