Arsenal hero Paul Merson is baffled by the England snub for West Ham midfielder James Ward-Prowse.
Merson insists he deserved a call-up this week.
He told Sky Sports: "When the squad came out, Trent Alexander-Arnold was one of the midfielders. If you're James Ward-Prowse, you're thinking: 'I'm never playing for England'.
"You've got someone [Jordan Henderson] who's playing in the Saudi league in front of 6,000 people every week and then you've got Ward-Prowse, who's playing very well for West Ham.
"He's been one of the game changers but he doesn't get a look in. It's ridiculous.
"Alexander-Arnold is a defender. He played one game in midfield for England against Malta. I mean Malta. I expect a professional footballer in the Premier League to be able to do well in midfield against Malta."
