5,000 people wagered that Jordan Reece would be in the England team, but he won't be.

Jordan Reece won't be making the team, not because he isn't good enough to play, but rather because he doesn't actually exist.
AceOdds created a fictitious football player from Football Manager and put him in the running for the England team as part of a safer gambling campaign. 5,000 people tried to bet on him.
