The Hatters have another three important Premier League fixtures to play before the last international break of the season is upon us.
Now while I almost always bemoan the fact that international breaks are the bane of my life, this time it is a little different.
It is fair to say that I’m more than a little interested in this one for two reasons.
1 – The extended break will give our medical team valuable time to do their utmost to get those who are injured fit again or the last nine games of the season.
And
2 – There is a chance that we just might see one of our players pull on an England shirt again.
Of course, the player in question is Ross Barkley who has been simply fantastic since agreeing to join our club.
The midfielder has been exemplary, and some supporters reckon he is the best midfielder they’ve ever seen at the club.
But while most Hatters would select Ross, for the forthcoming international squad, any section will depend on Gareth Southgate who has a tendency to show loyalty to those who have served him previously, Jordan Henderson and Kalvin Phillips are two examples who instantly spring to mind.
However, looking at current form, surely Gareth cannot ignore what Ross would bring to the squad.
But, when push comes to shove, what are your views?
Will Gareth Southgate Select Ross Barkley?
