"If I was Trent, I would retire from international duty if I don't get in a World Cup squad. I would retire until a new manager took charge of England to give me the opportunity," Controversial pundit and former England international Gabriel Agbolanhor said on TalkSPORT.
"What is the point of going away on these international breaks?" Agbonlahor continued.
"Stay with your club, rest, prepare yourself for football. For Southgate to come out and say Trippier is better all-round than Trent, I think that is an insult.
"I do like Trippier but Trent is an all-round better player than Trippier. Walker and James, for me, are better than Trent but don't say Trippier. Come on, the joke is over Gareth.
"It wouldn't surprise me if he did retire. We've seen players in the past retire from England because they weren't getting the opportunities."
Agbolanho also suffered from being ignored by England manager until he eventually retired. The ex-striker managed just 3 England caps.
In comparison, Trent already has 17 caps for England aged just 23.
