James Maddison, Ben White and Connor Gallagher make England World Cup squad as trio miss out

Gareth Southgate has named the 26-man England squad which will fly out to Qatar and represent England at the World Cup. Former Chelsea duo Fikayo Tomori, Tammy Abraham and Marc Guehi have been left out, as have Trevoh Chalobah, Reece James and Ben Chilwell - though the latter pair are injured.

Connor Gallagher is the surprise call-up as far as Chelsea are concerned, he joins Leicester's James Maddison as one of two surprise inclusions.

With regard to Arsenal, Emile Smith Rowe was out of contention as he continues to nurse a damaged tendon in his groin. His Arsenal team-mates Aaron Ramsdale and Bukayo Saka have been joined by Ben White, who has been rewarded for a fine run of form for the Premier League leaders.
