I can take the time off, go see my grandparents, and it’s not the end of the world as there’s another camp next month.“Nothing is expected. England have some top players and he’s got a lot of players to choose from. No matter who he picks, someone is not going to get in and there will be a fuss about it.GettyTuchel named a largely unchanged squad for the Three Lions’ matches with Wales and Latvia[/caption]GettyWharton has not been capped since making his debut against Bosnia & Herzegovina in June 2024[/caption]“I can’t sit here and cry about it, this is football and I’m happy playing for Palace and getting minutes and trying to do as well as I can and improve and if I get picked, I get picked.“If not I’ll carry on playing for Palace and enjoying it – there’s nothing else I can do really.”The former under-21 international continued: “Obviously everyone wants to play for their country if they get chosen but, like I said, this is football and he’s got plenty of top players to choose from and that’s what he gets paid to do, pick the team and help England do well.“Hopefully they kick on and get the results they need to qualify for the World Cup. I’ll keep knocking on the door and if I’m in, I’m in and if not I’ll carry on.”England host Wales at Wembley Stadium on Thursday before a trip to Latvia in World Cup qualifying on October 14.The Three Lions will qualify for next summer’s finals with a win in Riga if Serbia fail to win both of their matches this month.GettyThe midfielder admitted he is ‘not too fussed’ to miss out and is focussing on Palace[/caption]Wharton made his senior debut in June 2024 under Gareth Southgate before being included in the squad for that summer’s Euros.However, he has failed to add to his single England cap in the 16 months since featuring against Bosnia & Herzegovina.In his absence from the international scene, Wharton has continued to star in the Premier League for Crystal Palace.As well as winning the FA Cup in May, he has also lifted the Community Shield already this season as well as making ten appearances across all competitions.
