Le Tissier unsurprised by Redknapp's England claims

Former Southampton and England striker Matt Le Tissier isn't surprised by QPR boss Harry Redknapp's claims of players not wanting to turn out for England.

Redknapp made the revelation on the weekend regarding some of his former Tottenham players.

Speaking on BBC Five Live on Monday morning, he said: "I think there are times - especially when its friendly matches - where there are players who aren't that fussed about pulling on the England shirt.

"From that point of view it doesn't really shock me that he came out and said that.

"As someone who would have killed for more England caps, I never understood it, but it doesn't surprise me that it went on."
