TEAMS: West Ham ace Ravel Morrison left out of England U21s despite wonder strike
WEST HAM UNITED ace Ravel Morrison has been demoted to the bench for the England U21s in their European qualifier against San Marino, however Liverpool's Raheem Sterling and Manchester United's Jesse Lingard have both been handed starting berths.
Morrison scored a spectacular goal during training earlier this week and has been tipped to board the plane for the World Cup next summer.
The Hammers star hit a double for England in their 5-0 hammering of Lithuania last month.
But Gareth Southgate has decided to put him on the bench.
