So is there a reason Richards wsn't called up? Has it been mentioned already?
Just incase you want to send Mertens any message here is his twitshit account @dries_mertens14
aside from the "i don't want to be stand-by" thing.....hodgson has numerous doubts about richards' attitude....a phone call to mancini didn't help to convince him (same with johnson, apparently, although his doubts over johnson were more about his ability to follow orders, stay in position etc.)
