Chelsea duo of Tammy Abraham and
Fikayo Tomori have been called up by England for the 2020 Euro qualifiers.
Gareth Southgate’s Three Lions
side will take on the Czech Republic away on October 11, before travelling to
Bulgaria three days later.
Abraham and Tomori have had great
performances with Chelsea since the start of the 2019/20 English Premier League
season.
Abraham has scored eight goals in
all competitions including a Champions League goal in Chelsea’s 2-1 win against
Lille on Wednesday night.
Always proud to get the @England call up. Congrats boys 💙 pic.twitter.com/85Rdmwhsd6— Tammy Abraham (@tammyabraham) October 3, 2019
Nigeria will miss out on the
services of the duo should they feature in any of the two Euro 2020 games for
the Three Lions.
The 22-year old former Aston
Villa loanee had featured for the England senior men’s team in two previous
friendly matches while Tomori is just earning his first call-up for the Three
Lions.
“His profile as a defender fits
with the way international football is. Athleticism is important; he is capable
with the ball. We think it’s a good opportunity to have a closer look at him,”
said Southgate of Tomori.
