Pundits Micah Richards and Chris Sutton agree that Fikoyo Tomori was a correct choice for the England squad ahead of June's fixtures, adding that he should be starting ahead of the likes of Harry Maguire.
Gareth Southgate announced his 27 players for the next Three Lions squad on Tuesday and Tomori was on the list. The defender left the Blues in 2021 when Milan exercised a £25million buy option following a successful six-month loan. Since joining the Italian club permanently, the 24-year-old has not only helped the club back in the UEFA Champions League but has played a crucial role in winning their first Scudetto in 11 years.
His performances under Stefano Piolo has earned him an England call-up for next month's UEFA Nations League games against Hungary, Germany and Italy where he will be up against Maguire, Conor Coady, Crystal Palace's Marc Guehi, John Stones and Arsenal defender Ben White for a spot at the heart of the defence.
