Everton fans have pointed out what Jarrad Branthwaite shared on his Instagram story on Tuesday night after England's 2-2 draw against Belgium. 

The Toffees' centre back had been called up to Gareth Southgate's England squad for the first time in his career, alongside fellow newcomers Anthony Gordon and Kobbie Mainoo

But the 21-year-old defender, who has caught the attention of several clubs around the top-flight, did not play a single minute for the Three Lions, despite being named on the bench for their 1-0 defeat by Brazil and last night's draw. 

The highly-regarded left-footed centre back had been backed as a potential solution to England's defensive crisis, with doubts hanging over the fitness over several key defenders, including Harry Maguire coming into the international break. 

Southgate had opted for a centre back pairing of Lewis Dunk and John Stones for their game against Belgium, with the Man City defender being substituted for Joe Gomez in the 10th minute with an injury.
