The captain of the national team and the top scorer of England`s number one of all time - Wayne Rooney was again left out of the team of `the three lions` by the manager Gareth Southgate.
The 31-year-old Rooney, who earlier in the season lost his titular place in the club Manchester United is not in a group of 25 people for the world qualification in Group F with Scotland and the friendly game against France at the beginning of next month.
Rooney was not summoned by Southgate and for meetings with Germany and Lithuania in March this year, and the last time the English played was last November when he scored his record 53rd goal for the national team.
In the British group, however, there is the top scorer Jermain Defoe from Sunderland who scored against the Lithuanians, as well as the footballer from Tottenham Kieran Trippier. For him, that is the first call-up to the national team
England is the leader in Group F with 13 points from 5 games, 4 more than the second-placed Slovakia. Scotland is on the fourth position with 7 points. The meeting between Scotland and England will be played on June 10 at Hampden Park in Glasgow, and three days later the British will visit France, in Paris.
