Southgate: England must go back to drawing board

Gareth Southgate admits England may have to reassess their selection policy after exiting the Under-21 European Championship without a string of eligible senior internationals.

The Young Lions’ 3-1 capitulation against Italy on Wednesday evening saw them crash out at the group stage for the third successive finals.

It is a difficult pill to swallow after another impressive qualification campaign and has again led to questions over the decision to overlook senior internationals.
