Ryan Bertrand says England World Cup snub is ‘hard to take’

Ryan Bertrand has criticised Gareth Southgate for leaving him out of England’s World Cup squad, branding the decision as an “oversight”.

The Southampton left-back played in six of his country’s ten qualifying matches for this summer’s tournament, but Southgate has chosen to take Danny Rose, Ashley Young and Fabian Delph as his options on the left side of defence.

Bertrand played 40 times for Saints this season, whereas Rose featured just 17 times for Tottenham.
