England World Cup squad: Former Gravesend Grammar School pupil and AC Milan defender Fikayo Tomori left out by Gareth Southgate

Former Gravesend Grammar School pupil Fikayo Tomori has missed out on a place in England's World Cup squad. AC Milan defender and ex-Chelsea star Tomori, 24, last played for England in the summer, helping to keep a clean sheet in a goalless Nations League draw against Italy, but is not included in boss Gareth Southgate's final 26-man selection for Qatar.

Although there was another Nations League call-up in September, Tomori's chances of making the plane to the Middle East looked slim after he was an unused substitute against the Italians in Milan before being dropped from the squad for England's game against Germany - their last before the World Cup - three days later.

And with no injuries to centre-half mainstays Harry Maguire, John Stones and Eric Dier, plus Ben White and Conor Coady also available, selection as cover has not materialised.

Despite plenty of praise from Jose Mourinho, there was no surprise call-up for Tomori's fellow Serie A defender Chris Smalling.
