England fans bemused by Gareth Southgate’s decision to call up Harry Winks

The penultimate international break of 2017 is nearly upon us.

Should England beat Slovenia at Wembley on Thursday night, their spot at next summer's World Cup will be secured - regardless of what happens elsewhere in Group F. As his squad prepare for the game, Gareth Southgate has been hit with the news that Manchester United's Phil Jones and Manchester City's Fabien Delph have returned to their clubs with injuries. As a result, Southgate has promoted Tottenham's Harry Winks to the senior squad after he was initially named in the Under 21s side. Winks played his first 90 minutes of the season for his club as they won 3-0 away at Huddersfield and has only recently returned from an ankle ligament injury he picked up towards the end of last season. While Spurs fans were delighted by the news of Winks first call up to England's senior squad, other fans weren't all that impressed with Southgate's decision. Some suggested Everton's Tom Davies, Newcastle's Jonjo Shelvey and Arsenal's Jack Wilshere were more worthy of a call-up than the 21-year-old. https://twitter.com/SC__23/status/914918013635264512 https://twitter.com/ldabbs89/status/914920610790297600 https://twitter.com/AlexiLolas/status/914917535694442496 https://twitter.com/JoelBeckett93/status/914931013834375169 https://twitter.com/Fareen21/status/914925528985014272 https://twitter.com/FODonovan/status/914934368732352513 https://twitter.com/ConnerPilmore10/status/914933949121679360 https://twitter.com/Sean_Lunt/status/914925289834258433 https://twitter.com/Cam_Maloney10/status/914923981316280320
