England manager, Gareth Southgate has dropped Eddie Nketiah and Fikayo Tomori from his squad for the Euro 2024 qualifier against Italy on Tuesday night.
The Three Lions need a win or a draw to book their place in Germany next summer.
Southgate invited 25 players for the two matches against Australia and Italy.
But UEFA rules limit matchday squads to just 23 players for competitive games.
That means two players have been required to sit out Tuesday’s contest, with Tomori and Nketiah the unfortunate players to make way.
Arsenal forward Nketiah came on as a substitute for goalscorer Ollie Watkins against Australia in the 73rd minute to make his debut, while Tomori started the contest but was replaced by John Stones shortly after the hour-mark.
Both players are only on the periphery of the squad, with in-form Watkins now the primary backup to skipper Harry Kane – who was rested against the Aussies.
