England striker Ollie Watkins says that being left out of the national team in March was actually a good thing for him. The Aston Villa forward was not picked for the games earlier this year. At first, he was disappointed, but now he thinks the break helped his career. Watkins used the free time to work hard on his game and rest his body. He also spent time learning from his club manager.
