I'm actually not too concerned if they don't play as others have said it will keep them fresh.
But also I was watching Belgium last night and it dawned on me that even if trossard never plays in the tournament,the experience he is getting from training with players of that quality will really help him and us next season.
The same is true of veltman.

Obviously this doesn't apply to Ben White who is already the best defender in the England camp and was selected for the other defenders to learn off and for Southgate to pick Ben's brains on how potter does things.
We won't see Ben White much because he makes all the others look bad.

This,

There’s no conspiracy.

Velts, White and Sanchez are on the fringes. Ditto Tross who may be slightly ahead as he does get game time (and played in their first group game).

The only one who appears slightly unlucky is Moder, who was a starter for the Poles in the run up to the Euros I believe.
Getting the recall to Brighton probably hasn't helped Moder much - only 13 appearances, many of them as a sub. I hope we see more of him next season - and our other young internationals too. I think lack of game time has cost the likes of Mac Allister, Alzate and Molumby - they won't hang around for ever unless they play, and I wouldn't want us to loose all of them.

Very true, it’s another reason why we need to get the conveyor belt moving! We have plenty of players pushing to play who need game time.

Does the OP understand what AWOL actually means ?

Technically of course, not being under military discipline, none of them are actually Absent WithOut Leave. (Unless they've broken curfew and have completely disappeared from their relative camps which I guess would count as well). However nowadays the term AWOL is just used as a synonym for 'not been seen', so even I am prepared to let it pass.

Lots of Polish people who I work with were furious Moder didn't play and that arse Kyrchowiak did. Red card waiting to happen.

Certain to play tomorrow.

Veltman came on as sub I'm sure right at the end.

My Warsaw Poles say Karbownik is a waste of money... has gone downhill since he won Polish young player of the year.
