Sport nationARSENAL STRIKER EDDIE NKETIAH DROPPED FROM ENGLAND MATCHDAY SQUAD FOR ITALY GAME
Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah has been dropped from the England squad for the European qualifiers against Italy tonight, according to Sky Sports senior reporter Rob Dorsett.
Three Lions manager Gareth Southgate had 25 players for the final training session at the Tottenham Hotspur training ground yesterday.
However, national terms are only allowed to name a matchday squad of 23 players, and the Arsenal forward and AC Milan centre-back Fikayo Tomori has been dropped.
The 24-year-old earned his first call-up last in August for the fixtures against Ukraine and Scotland but was not named in the matchday squad in the former and was an unused substitute in the latter.
He finally made his England debut during the friendly match against Australia on October 13 but will play no part in the important qualifiers tonight.
Bayern Munich hitman Harry Kane is set to lead the line as the Three Lions look to secure a spot at Euro 2024, while Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins will be on the bench.
Nketiah will remain with the team until their departure tomorrow and will be looking forward to returning to action when Arsenal take on Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
He has featured in 11 games across all competitions this term, weighing in with two goals and an assist.
Nketiah will be hoping to make the final squad for Euro 2024 and will need to keep scoring and assisting regularly this term to boost his chances given the stiff competition available for the few spots available.
England are in Group C with Italy, Ukraine, North Macedonia and Malta in the qualifying campaign and are currently top of the group following four victories and a draw in five games.
