• Defender was a substitute for Everton’s win at Southampton• Keane also left out of
England squad for upcoming fixtures
Marco Silva has reassured Michael Keane that being dropped for club and country “is not the end of the world” and the Everton manager believes it will make the defender stronger.
Gareth Southgate dropped Keane, whose form has dipped since an error on international duty in October, from his 27-man England squad to face Montenegro and Kosovo this week, with Manchester City’s John Stones recalled at his expense.
