Mason Greenwood opted out of England selection until next year as Three Lions manager Gareth Southgate explained the Manchester United sensation s international absence.
Greenwood has not been included in England s squad for upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Albania (November 12) and San Marino (November 15).
The 20-year-old forward has not played for England since his debut in September last year, which saw Greenwood sent home along with Phil Foden after the pair breached COVID-19 regulations by inviting two women to the team hotel.
Southgate told reporters Greenwood asked not to be considered for international selection during the first half of this season.

Karim Benzema continued his fine form in front of goal as Real Madrid went top of LaLiga with a 2-1 win over Rayo Vallecano on Saturday.
Toni Kroos put Madrid ahead when he finished off a counter-attack in the 14th minute, the goal awarded after a VAR review having initially been ruled offside.
Benzema s 10th league goal of the season – and ninth in 10 against Rayo – made it two seven minutes before half-time, but Madrid sat back following the restart and Radamel Falcao s response ensured a tense finish.
Rayo could not quite forge an equaliser, though, and Madrid moved two points ahead of Real Sociedad at the summit at least until their trip to Osasuna on Sunday.
Alvaro Garcia had almost given Rayo a shock early lead when he broke clear of the M…
Chelsea striker Didier Drogba predicts that Ivory Coast will impress in the African Cup of Nations in January.
The African side disappointed fans after being knocked out in last year s quarter-finals, but Drogba is confident that the Ivorians have the quality in their squad to succeed in the tournament in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea.
We are going to have a lot of fans from Ivory Coast there but it doesn t really matter where you play because whenever you go to a competition you go to win, he told Chelsea s website.
We had a good qualification and this competition is the one all the African countries want to win so this one is going to be tough again.
There is Senegal, there is Morocco, there is Tunisia, there is Gabon who are playing at home so they …
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is braced for another Premier League title race that could go down to the final day of the season.
The defending champions are playing catch up in a tight three-way battle with Liverpool and Arsenal.
They kept the pressure on with an impressive 4-1 rout of a depleted Aston Villa side on Wednesday as Phil Foden’s hat-trick highlighted a display closer to their devastating best.
City have been in similar positions before under Guardiola and been able to put together a long winning run to come out on top.
The Catalan remains adamant his side are only third favourites to lift the trophy, but he expects his players to keep up the fight as they seek a fourth straight title.
“If we win all our games it will go until…
Neil Warnock has made a surprise return to Crystal Palace for a second spell as manager of the Premier League club.
The London side have turned to Warnock to replace Tony Pulis, who left on the eve of the Premier League season, and the 65-year-old has signed a two-year deal.
Warnock first took charge of Palace in 2007 and guided the club to the Championship play-offs in his maiden season, but left for QPR in 2010 as administration gripped Selhurst Park.
He was reported to be competing with former West Brom coach Steve Clarke for the job, and has been given the nod to lead Palace s bid for top-flight survival.
His first task will be to tackle Newcastle United at St James Park on Saturday.
Palace s search for a new boss has been shrouded in controve…
Shinji Kagawa could make his Borussia Dortmund return against Freiburg on Saturday, as Jurgen Klopp deals with the absence of Marco Reus.
Japan international Kagawa left Dortmund in 2012 to move to Manchester United, but was unable to nail down a regular starting place under Alex Ferguson or David Moyes.
First-team action proved no easier to come by for the playmaker in the early stages of Louis van Gaal s reign at Old Trafford.
Dortmund completed the re-signing of the 25-year-old at the end of last month, tying him down to a four-year deal after agreeing to pay an undisclosed fee estimated to be far lower than the amount received for Kagawa two years ago.
Kagawa made 49 Bundesliga appearances for Dortmund during his first spell at the club from 2010 to 2…

Game Pass has been central to Microsoft’s strategy in gaming for as long as it’s been around, which is a little over seven years at this point, and though that’s obviously unlikely to change anytime soon, the company recently announced a set of changes that it is making to its subscription service that are proving unpopular with a sizeable portion of the Xbox community, to the point that many are even calling into question the whole point of Game Pass, and whether the service has accomplished what it set out to do for Microsoft.
Before we get into that, however, let’s talk through those changes, of which there’s quite a few. The headline here – or one of them, at least – is that Game Pass is once again getting a pric…
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 has got off to an impressive start, not only because of the acclaim it’s enjoyed from critics and audiences alike, but also because it’s been attracting players in large numbers- to the extent that it has already outsold some of the biggest new releases of the year in Europe.
That’s as per GSD data shared on Twitter by GamesIndustry’s Christopher Dring, who says Space Marine 2 has already become the second biggest new game release of the year in Europe. The only new 2024 title to have sold more in the region is Helldivers 2, which means Space Marine 2 is tracking ahead of the likes of The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered, Dragon’s Dogma 2, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, …
