There’s one big problem with Harry Redknapp’s plan to get Wes Morgan to Euro 2016

Leicester City's rise to the top of the Premier League caught everyone off-guard.
When this season started, the Foxes were tipped for relegation, not a title. But under the leadership of club captain Wes Morgan (and a few goals from Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez), they have defied the odds. With six games left, Leicester have a seven-point lead and bookies are already paying out on the champions-elect. Sunday's game against Southampton was supposed to be a potential banana skin for Claudio Ranieri's men, but captain Morgan fired home a header to give the Foxes all three points - and Harry Redknapp thinks the defender should be rewarded with an England call-up. While it's a nice (if somewhat reactionary) thought, there's one massive problem with this. Although Morgan was born in Nottingham, the 32-year-old has been capped 25 times by Jamaica and is therefore ineligible for England duty. https://twitter.com/mrgeoffpeters/status/716734192659349504Explore more on these topics:
