QPR ace Austin: I didn't expect England call

QPR striker Charlie Austin insists he wasn't expecting an England call.

Austin was overlooked for England's squad this week.

When asked on Soccer AM if he had expected to be picked, Austin said: "No. I think, if you look at the strikers, there are three who pick themselves. (Wayne) Rooney, (Daniel) Sturridge and (Danny) Welbeck.

"And then you are going to pick Harry Kane, the form he is in, he has been incredible this season. So no, I did not expect to be picked.

"They (the media outlets calling for his inclusion) do not pick the team."
