James Maddison says he is ‘devastated’ after missing out on England’s squad for Euro 2024.
The Tottenham star admits that his form in the second half of the Premier League season was not good enough.
However, he feels that he trained well enough to be considered as part of the 26-man squad.
“Devastated doesn’t quite cut it,” Maddison wrote on Instagram.
“Trained well and worked hard all week but if I’m honest with myself, my form for Spurs when coming back from injury in the second half of the season probably wasn’t at the levels I had set which gave Gareth a decision to make.
“I still thought there would be a space for me in a 26 man squad as I feel I bring something different and had been a mainstay in this whole qualifying campaign for Euro 2024 in Germany but the manager has made the decision and I have to respect that.
“I’ll be back, I have no doubt. Wishing the boys all the luck in the world out in Germany, unbelievable group and lads that I literally call some of my best friends. I genuinely hope football comes home.”
