00:00 Is he doing anything wrong?
00:01 - No.
00:03 - That's an important question,
00:04 'cause people will ask that, Gareth,
00:05 about whether there's a breakdown
00:06 in the relationship between you and him.
00:07 - But who am I leaving out to put him in?
00:10 Who am I leaving out to put him in?
00:13 (eerie music)
00:28 I mean, the door is 100% open,
00:30 not only for Raheem,
00:31 but for other players that aren't in this squad.
00:33 I can only repeat what I've said
00:34 in the last couple of squad selection meetings.
00:36 The team are playing really well.
00:38 We had an exceptional win here against Italy
00:40 last time round.
00:41 Who do we leave out to put him in?
00:45 (dramatic music)
00:48 (dramatic music)
00:50 (dramatic music)
00:53 (dramatic music)
01:22 Of course, we talk with all the players
01:24 about how things are at their clubs,
01:26 but I think he's scored five in 10 for us,
01:30 and he's only started four of those.
01:33 So he's in a good vein of form.
01:35 He enjoys his football with us at the moment.
01:38 Of course, he's not scoring freely
01:42 at the minute with club,
01:43 but that will come.
01:44 And yeah, we're looking forward
01:49 to working with him again this week.
