It is a strange one A teenage Full Welsh International who plays for Man City should be good enough to make our 20 man squad .
Having looked at the statement it reads like he has gone back because he is injured .
I doubt that there will be time for his return .
To be fair with Wales at the moment they do seem to be giving kids early caps simply to try and avoid them being picked up by England like Declan Rice
A bit off topic, but I don't like countries doing that as to me it devalues international sport if you end up with a side full of players like Smith who only qualify due to one grandparent

No I hate it as well even when England have done it in the past
If a kid is good enough then by all means play them but dont play them just to stop another Nation from benefiting further down their career
I'm sure England are pleased they did it with Jenkinson.
But then Carl Jenkinson was born and raised in England. It's not as if he grew up in Finland and qualified for England because he had an English grandmother!

Agreed, indeed it would be fairer to allow players to change nationalities before say 21, to stop them having to make significant, non reversible decisions, aged 18
The England cricket team have definitely taken advantage of the financial weaknesses of other countries as another example

Bowyer comes out with almost as much rubbish as any other cafc club official at times.
Shall we get rid of him then Daz? I detect a bit of unrest amongst some on here with his team selections and in game management 😲.
Certainly not!
I think he's just being diplomatic with his take on the Smith situation. We never really saw that much of the lad to form an opinion but then again like McGeady we don't see how they perform at Sparrows Lane. Makes sense not to waste wages on him if he wasn't immediately fit though.

How Bowyer managed to keep a straight face on that whole day/evening is beyond me?
but I take anything he says with a pinch of salt in regard to behind the scenes guff at Charlton
