It is a foregone conclusion that Nigeria Football Federation target, Chelsea’s Fikayo Tomori will become cap-tied to England, the country where he was raised, when he makes his competitive debut against either Montenegro (Nov 14) or Kosovo (Nov 17).
The former Canada youth-team skipper and Chelsea teammate Tammy Abraham have been named in the 27-player group by manager Gareth Southgate.
Queens Park Rangers attacking midfielder Ebere Eze has accepted a call-up to feature for England U21s in upcoming matches against Albania and the Netherlands.
