"I Don't Understand" - Alan Shearer Criticises Chelsea Star's Recent Decision

  • Following Cole Palmer's withdrawal, Morgan Gibbs-White joined the England squad after cutting his holiday short. The 26-year-old midfielder aims to prove his worth to manager Thomas Tuchel after previous exclusions.
  • Thomas Tuchel previously omitted Gibbs-White, stating, "It makes no sense to nominate three, four, five, No 10s." The midfielder believes he has outperformed those selections over the last nine months.
  • Gibbs-White remains the highest-scoring midfielder in Europe's top five leagues during 2026, matching Erling Haaland's league goal tally. He also leads Nottingham Forest in pressing distance, proving his value extends beyond attacking play.
  • Serving as Nottingham Forest's captain, Gibbs-White orchestrates the team's press and creative attack. His pass for the winner at Villa Park last weekend exemplifies the value Forest recognized when investing a transfer fee potentially rising to £40m.
  • With an 88-minute international career, Gibbs-White now has his best opportunity to prove he merits a fixture in the English Premier League's elite. If selection followed merit alone, he would already be a regular for the national team.
