Fikayo Tomori was not called up in the latest England national team list by coach Gareth Southgate. The AC Milan star, despite strong and consistent performances was not preferred by the gaffer who opted for other choices.
The English tactician had this to say to the media about the odds of seeing AC Milan's centre-back Tomori and AS Roma's striker Tammy Abraham:
"We like both players(...) We really like Fikayo. He is playing really well. We think he’s one of three or four young centre-backs we’ve got who can challenge the four who’ve been with us."
Southgate continued:
"We kept continuity with the guys we had over the summer, but over the next 12 months there are younger players we’ve got to look at closely, give opportunities to and can challenge for places. So both players, (Tomori and Abraham) have good potential.
