‘What a joke’: Some Arsenal fans fuming over ‘ridiculous’ news

A number of Arsenal fans have criticised the news that Gunners duo Ben White and Emile Smith Rowe haven’t made the latest England squad.

White joined Arsenal in the summer for a reported £50million and, after finding his feet, has become essential for Mikel Arteta’s side.

Meanwhile, Smith Rowe has been sensational for Arsenal since breaking into the first team, becoming an indispensable player.

However, Gareth Southgate didn’t pick either for the England squad to take on Albania and San Marino in their final World Cup qualifiers.

The Three Lions has kept faith in the likes of Tyrone Mings and Conor Coady in defence.

Competition in England’s midfield and attack is a lot fiercer, and Smith Rowe is still uncapped, so that perhaps is a bit more understandable.

However, some Gooners are shocked as to why White, who has been in such great form, misses out.

Here’s what some Arsenal fans have been saying on social media:

England play Albania at Wembley on 12 November before heading to San Marino on 15 November.

The Three Lions require four points from those games to qualify for the finals in Qatar.
