Fikayo Tomori slammed as Gareth Southgate told he's right for England snub

Fikayo Tomori 's nightmare performances for AC Milan in the Champions League semi-finals showed why Gareth Southgate hasn't been selecting him for England.

That's according to ex-Three Lions defender Danny Mills, who claims the Chelsea academy graduate's displays leave him "nowhere near" Southgate's squad. Tomori, 25, suffered two bruising defeats to arch enemies Inter, who won 3-0 on aggregate after dominating their Milan rivals, setting up a final next month against either Manchester City or Real Madrid.

Ahead of last Wednesday's first leg, the English centre-back was being bigged-up for good reason, having made himself a staple of Stefano Pioli 's back line since joining the Italian giants in January 2021 and helping them win Serie A in his first full season. But Inter humiliated Tomori and his team-mates, leaving Mills in no doubt as to why Southgate hasn't called him up since last September.
