Gracious Leicester midfielder Drinkwater handles England snub with class

Leicester City midfielder Danny Drinkwater has responded to his England snub for Euro2016 with a classy message on his Instagram account.

The 26-year-old Premier League champion, who made his debut for the Three Lions in March, was a part of the provisional squad but was omitted by Roy Hodgson from his final 23-man roster for this summer's tournament in France.

Drinkwater, via his Twitter account, wrote: “Disappointed not to make the final 23. Would have been a fantastic experience to go to the Euros as a player... But I'll be supporting the country like I always have!

“The season's been a huge positive for me.. Going into next season as a Premier League champion! Good luck to the lads... Bring it home."
