Roy Hodgson has named his provisional England squad for the European Championship this summer, and some fans are up in arms of his exclusion of Man City striker Kelechi Iheanacho.
The impressive 19-year-old has broken into the City first team this season, and partnered Sergio Aguero in Sunday’s final game of the season away at Swansea City, scoring his twelfth Premier League goal of an impressive campaign.
He’s definitely stood out as one of the best young talents playing in the UK at the moment, and we’d be well in favour of him taking a spot at the Euros in France…if he wasn’t Nigerian.
Yup, in case you’re not quite up to speed, Iheanacho was born and raised in Imo, Nigeria, and he already has two senior caps for his country.
Moreover, he turned out for Nigeria at under-17 and under-20 level, but that hasn’t stopped these supporters from being absolutely outraged at Hodgson passing him over:
Why isn't iheanacho in the England squad he's been much better than rashford
