England have named their squad for the World Cup finals and the Bookmakers still think they have a real chance of success in Russia.<\/p>\n

Adam Lallana, Jack Wilshere, Jonjo Shelvey, Ryan Bertrand, Chris Smalling and Joe Hart have all been omitted from the 23-man party announced by Gareth Southgate.<\/p>\n

And the Bookmakers were caught off guard, with a number of odds-on fancies not making the final selection, particularly Wilshere and Bertrand.”<\/p>\n

“The England squad has been confirmed and nobody will be more disappointed than Jack Wilshere and Ryan Bertrand – the pair have 50 caps between them and are coming off good Premier League campaigns, but that was not enough,” revealed OddsMonkey spokesman Peter Watton.<\/p>\n

“This time last week they were both 4\/11 – 75% probability, they were both firmly on the plane in the eyes of the Bookmakers – but unfortunately for them, not with Southgate.<\/p>\n

“Adam Lallana is another who was odds-on recently, but injuries have perhaps done for his chances.”<\/p>\n

Amongst the biggest shocks, based on the odds, were Trent Alexander-Arnold, Danny Welbeck and Nick Pope.<\/p>\n

“The biggest surprises were Alexander-Arnold and Pope – not many had those two in, same goes for Welbeck – but clearly Southgate wanted a fourth striker.”<\/p>\n
