If that's the issue and I certainly don't think he is injured why can he play for his country yet not his club that pays his wages?

The call-up's a good thing if he gets some match fitness, a bad thing if he exacerbates an injury.
I like to think that both club and player would stop him from going if he's not on track to be fit enough to feature at least a little.
Whether his problem has been physical, mental or personal I think we can assume that if he turns up for England duty he's now in a position where he's ready to be playing again.
Although he might unfortunately and unwisely try to play through an injury to represent his country, I don't see him leaving his partner and baby at home if anything serious was going on with them, to play in a glorified friendly. So hopefully whatever has been happening is now better enough that he's able to return to work.

Agreed, I amended my post to incude that. Its a strange oneSurely England would too though. Seems very odd.
Could just be as simple as he has a niggle and shoud be right when England games come around but you would think Pep would say that and not all this smoke and daggers

I don't think we can assume this is a case of Jack being problematic (although I'd never deny he has been in the past, especially in his youth).Do we have an English player that isn't in someway problematic off the pitch? They're all bellends away from football.. young lads excluded..for now
It might simply be that he's had a niggly injury that he's just about recovered from now and the club and country's medical staff are in agreement that he should be fit enough to feature in the international break.
The only reason anyone's speculated it's anything else is that Pep hasn't given any details of an injury. But maybe he's just respecting his privacy with regards to his medical record.
