Manchester United star Jesse Lingard broke down in tears after his Euro 2020 snub over the summer.
Lingard was in the provisional squad for the Three Lions for the tournament, but failed to make manager Gareth Southgate's main squad.
The attacking midfielder had enjoyed an excellent second half of last season with West Ham United, scoring nine goals on loan.
Speaking to The Players' Tribune, he said: "Back in June, I really thought I had done enough to get into the final 26 for the Euros.
"Obviously, I respected Gareth's decision, but when I rang to tell my brother, well ... I cried. Lou (his brother) cried as well."
