Gareth Southgate has dropped two players from his England squad for their crunch Euro 2024 qualifier against Italy tonight.

Southgate has left out Arsenal forward Eddie Nketiah and AC Milan defender Fikayo Tomori from his squad to face Italy at Wembley Stadium, with 10 changes expected.

He had to trim his squad as nations are only allowed 23 players on matchdays.

That's according to Rob Dorsett, who tweeted: "#afc Eddie Nketiah and #milan Fikayo Tomori have been left out of the England squad for tonight's Euro qualifier against Italy.

"Southgate had 25 players for the final training session at Spurs training ground yesterday, but nations are only allowed to name a matchday squad of 23."
