Nigeria Handed Boost As Southgate Snubs Chelsea Striker Abraham In Latest England Squad
Published: August 29, 2019
The Nigeria Football Federation have been handed a boost in their pursuit of Tammy Abraham after the Chelsea striker was left out of the latest England squad announced by manager Gareth Southgate on Thursday afternoon.
Abraham has not been included in the Three Lions squad for their upcoming European Championship qualifiers against
Kosovo and Bulgaria.
Kosovo and Bulgaria.
The London-born striker of Nigerian descent represented England at this summer's U21 EURO and three of his teammates during the tournament in Italy and San Marino, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, James Maddison and Mason Mount, have been selected for the qualifiers next month.
Southgate preferred Bournemouth star Callum Wilson to Abraham as back-up to strikers Harry Kane and Marcus Rashford.
The Nigerian Federation target has not received an England senior call-up since November 2017 when he featured in pre-World Cup friendlies against Germany and Brazil.
The cap-tied Chelsea midfielder Ross Barkley has been named in the 25-man group while Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Dele Alli misses out through injury.
