The latest omissions from Southgate have come as a shock to many supporters of the Three Lions who have called for the sack of the 52-year-old.

Alexander-Arnold has been a constant feature at Anfield but has only managed just 17 caps for England while Tomori will have to wait a while longer to add to his three caps.
