Wayne Rooney has snubbed some of England 's biggest stars when naming his two most important players ahead of Euro 2024 this summer.“Harry Kane and Jordan Pickford are England ’s most important players. Jordan is important to England because Gareth Southgate doesn’t rotate him in the friendly games, so we’re yet to see what the other goalkeepers can do," Rooney said.
“I played with Pickford at Everton, and I was in the England squad when he first came into the team," Rooney continued. “Due to the way that Pickford is, they judge him because he’s a bit lively and some of the bits he does in goal. Joe Hart and Aaron Ramsdale are similar. They are a bit fidgety and that does not fill you with confidence, but you are used to seeing Pickford now and you know he performs. I think it would be a big concern if he was to get injured.
Last time out at Euro 2020 Pickford didn't concede an open play goal all tournament, only conceding in the semi-final and final. Tom Jenkins is a Social Editor and Journalist for SPORTBible.
