Lose him?
Not as if he is exceptional is it?
Just bizarre that he suddenly has no interest in us? Who else is he qualified for?
I am assuming we are not deliberately overlooking him?

There is no way we have decided not to select a player for our u21s who's seen as a rising start and is making a premier league matchday squad on a regular basis. To leave him out would be criminal. He must have turned us down or said that he wants to keep his options open. Would be good to get some clarity.

Standby for seniors - No
Under 21s as far as i know currently - just not selected
Media conference with Paul Bodin tomorrow - I am sure the ? will get asked

Well good luck to him - he can hold on all he likes but there is zero chance of him playing for England at senior level. He can dream. England's attacking players are usually making an impact in their teens Best not to have him if even at this stage and with 'nothing to lose' he isn't invested Why does it list him as a Welsh player on Wiki? Does he have some distant grandparent as his passport to eligibility? |

Also eligible for Jamaica, so perhaps wants to keep his options open for now - which you can't blame him for. Nationality is a complex thing

I suppose the best case would be that he isn’t long back from a serious injury and he wants to concentrate on Wolves whilst around the first team squad. Rather than questioning the coaches ineptitude or the players loyalty. |

If we had any conviction he’d be with the senior side for the next few games. A few very strange non selections again from Paul Bodin

yeah, I think I am more on edge about it because of an article I read on The Athletic about how Jamaica are doing more to engage their diaspora recently.
Basically a response to not wanting to lose Leon Bailey the same way the have lost Sterling and others.

Yeah, we should be looking to secure him ourselves by getting him involved in the squad under 21 or senior. This isn’t the first time he’s been overlooked by Bodin. Unless of course he opts elsewhere like Banks

It would be a big shame to lose someone like this especially after Taz Mayembe looks to have been lost to Zambia. Maybe international sides are making the same effort that we’ve made for years. Zimbabwe have been pursuing Rushesha pretty hard as well. |

In the same way that I am quarter Welsh and consider myself Welsh whilst my brother feels English. |

After the Moldova display I thought Bodin would walk, we are left with his mental squads and bang average performances |

I doubt Bodin is overlooking him. Far far more likely CHem has asked to keep his options open. More power to him. Our success in securing dual qualifieds has been through not being needy and letting them choose. It does mean every so often we lose one, but more often than not we secure great talent

I still find it absolutely mental that Paul Bodin refuses time and time again, to select these two lads for the under21's.
They both start this afternoon for Wolves v West Ham in the Premier league cup.
Two talented lads we overlook, Bodin needs to be asked why?!

Moved this thread into here as it didn't need its own thread. The OP is talking about Chem Campbell and Owen Hesketh. |

Is anyone able to shed any kind of light? By all accounts playing well now for over a season in a top youth side. We aren't big enough to ignore such talent.

There's no chance we've just overlooked Chem. The fact he isn't involved will be due to player wish to keep options open. He's eligible for Jamaica and England
Not every decides their international allegiance right away

Probably just wanted to see what it was like I'd be surprised if he was interested by England, such a difficult pathway. Jamaica might represent a great chance of playing in a World Cup so I could see him being tempted by that. Especially with Antonio et al., joining the cause |

Chem Campbell has been on standby plenty of occasions, info is never published by the FAW, last time without double checking was October 2020, at u19 level, 2002 born
Was told few weeks ago, just not selected for the u21 squad this international window
Current u21 squad have had a long week in camp ahead of Bulgaria next Tuesday
