Tammy Abraham will have to follow the forthcoming FIFA World Cup in Russia from the screens after being snubbed by England.
The Chelsea youngster had previously rejected the Super Eagles with the hope of turning on for the Three Lions in Russia.
However, Gareth Southgate’s latest squad for the Mundial was without the 20-year-old forward who managed five goals at relegated Swansea.
Instead, another Chelsea Ruben Loftus-Cheek, 22, was also given a seat on the plane to Russia after impressing for Crystal Palace this season.
Chelsea skipper Gary Cahill, whose place had been in doubt because of poor form, also makes the trip east.
However, experienced goalkeeper Joe Hart and Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere were both omitted from a squad announced on Wednesday via a social media video featuring young recreational players from around the country shouting out the names.
Southgate broke with convention by declining to name a provisional 30-man squad, opting instead to select his preferred 23 well before FIFA’s June 4 deadline.
England play friendlies against Nigeria and Costa Rica on June 2 and June 7 before leaving for Russia on June 12.
After starting against Tunisia, England will also face outsiders Panama and a dangerous Belgium side.
