Ivan Toney will not make England debut against Italy as five players left out of squad

Ivan Toney will not make his England debut against Italy on Friday night after being left out of Gareth Southgate's 23-man squad for the Nations League clash.

The Brentford striker, 26, was hoping to make his international bow after being called up the England squad for the first time. He's enjoyed a brilliant start to the season, scoring five goals in seven Premier League games to catch Southgate's attention.

Yet Toney will not feature against European champions Italy. Marc Guehi, Ben Chilwell and Jordan Henderson have also failed to make the bench, while John Stones is suspended after being sent off in the humiliating 4-0 home defeat to Hungary in June.
