Why Fikayo Tomori is not in England World Cup squad as Southgate decision explained

Fikayo Tomori is one of the biggest omissions from Gareth Southgate's England squad, which was announced on Thursday afternoon ahead of the Qatar World Cup..

The defender was left out of the squad alongside other big names such as Tammy Abraham, Marc Guehi, James Ward-Prowse and Ivan Toney. However, it is Tomori's omission which has confused many fans as the Serie A winning defender misses out on selection, with Connor Coady the surprise inclusion in his place.

Tomori has been around the squad for a number of years, making his debut in 2019 and then being awarded two subsequent caps but has never been able to force his way into Southgate's plans on a consistent basis.
