Thiago Alcantara has a number of achievements as a footballer, and was regarded as one of Spain’s best footballers in his younger years. He won the U21 Euros twice, and not many players can contest that.
Joe Gomez, the 25-year-old English player has been with Liverpool since 2015. He signed the Reds for a mere £3.5 million five year contract back then. Furthermore, he played in the finals for the 2019 FIFA Club World Cup.
Apparently it was confident that Roberto Firmino would’ve joined this year’s World Cup. He scored seven goals for his team in the Premier League and just like the others on this list, had an impressive background.
Alex, the 29-year-old Englishman was also not selected for this round. He rose in popularity while playing for Southampton during the 2010-2011 season at the tender age of 17-years-old.
Last but not least, Harvey Elliot. The 19-year-old English man was also not selected by Gareth Southgate. Both Alex and Harvey were not even in the consideration list done by Southgate to join the World Cup.
