After getting a call-up from manager Roy Hodgson to represent England in the upcoming European Championship, Leicester City midfielder Danny Drinkwater celebrated with his team and family. But the final list is still not out, some players from that preliminary list will be cut off. The more likely to be axed are the ones who have a smaller history with the National Team. But if it is for achievement and game level, Danny shouldn't worry because he's been one of the best in his position this year.
When questioned if he would be disappointed by getting cut off from the team, he explained: "No, not really. The midfield has a lot of quality and the players we are talking about have ridiculous quality. They have played at the top level so I would understand. If it happens I will understand and I'll work hard again next season and see where it goes. But in the meantime making the final 23 is the next challenge. I think that is every player's aim and there are 26 players fighting for 23 places so it's going to be tough.
"I'm just going to train how I usually train and work really hard and if I'm in the 23 I'm in the 23. There are games to play and everyone needs to stay fit and I need to keep my fitness, and hopefully I'll be there at the end. This season has been a massive positive for me and making the final England squad would be the icing on the cake. But even if I don't make the 23, England have got a massive chance of winning the Euros and I'd love to be involved."
