It’s a miracle! England deserters make stunning Premier League recoveries | OneFootball

Having enjoyed watching Newcastle United players starring for England, I couldn’t wait for the Premier League action to kick-off once again.

Newcastle fans of course having the longest wait, along with Hammers fans.

As Monday night sees Newcastle take on West Ham.

Nine other Premier League matches to be played before then.

Premier League fixtures/results this weekend:

Saturday 23 November

Leicester 1 Chelsea 2

Bournemouth 1 Brighton 2

Arsenal 3 Forest 0

Aston Villa 2 Crystal Palace 2

Everton 0 Brentford 0

Fulham 1 Wolves 4

Man City v Tottenham (5.30pm)

Sunday 24 November

Southampton v Liverpool (2pm)

Ipswich v Man U (4.30pm)

Monday 25 November

Newcastle v West Ham (8pm)

Like many other idle Newcastle United fans with nothing better to do, I lay down on the sofa and watched on as the Saturday action unfolded.

A recurring theme started to trigger something in my mind…

Jarrad Branthwaite – Started for Everton v Brentford on Saturday

Bukayo Saka – Started for Arsenal v Forest on Saturday

Declan Rice – Named on bench for Arsenal v Forest on Saturday

Levi Colwill – Started for Chelsea v Leicester

Cole Palmer – Started for Chelsea v Leicester

Then I checked back on exactly which ‘injured’ England players had been pulled out of the November squad by their clubs.

Branthwaite – Tick

Saka – Tick

Rice – Tick

Colwill – Tick

Palmer – Tick

How impressive.

Clearly these five England players/deserters have got better doctors than me.

Man City v Tottenham is due to kick-off shortly, so I decided to have a quick look at their matchday squads:

Jack Grealish – Named on bench for Man City v Tottenham on Saturday

Phil Foden – Starts for Man City v Tottenham on Saturday

Grealish – Tick

Foden – Tick

It’s a miracle!
