Root 'Hacked Off' After Carse Incident

England captain Joe Root has expressed his anger and disappointment after Brydon Carse was dropped from the squad following his arrest in a Derby nightclub.

Root described himself as "really hacked off" to be addressing another player behavior issue, stating he wants to remodel England's dressing room to inspire supporters both on and off the field. Carse was briefly arrested on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly after being seen in videos being escorted from a nightclub in handcuffs, though he was later de-arrested and released without charge.

The 31-year-old has been removed from the squad following the incident, which Root referred to as "isolated" despite occurring amid a string of similar behavior concerns over the past eight months. forestarrow.help
