Unrestricted striker Ivan Toney has been left out of England’s squad to face Italy tonight in the Nations League.
The 26-year-old Brentford striker received his first call-up to Three Lions last week, but will have to wait a little longer for his debut.
Marc Guehi, Ben Chilwell and Jordan Henderson also miss Gareth Southgate’s 23-man squad for the Milan game.

Henderson has only just returned from a hamstring injury and was a late call-up for the squad this week after Kalvin Phillips withdrew.
Central defender John Stones will also not be there tonight after his red card against Hungary in June.
The news comes as a blow to Toney, who has hoped to claim a place in the World Cup squad after scoring five goals in seven Premier League games this season.
“I feel like I have complete confidence in myself,” Toney said earlier this week. “I’ve never played for any of the other age groups, so going straight to the senior team is a big achievement.

“It’s a huge opportunity for me to get myself on the plane. But I just have to take it game by game. Hopefully I’ll get a few minutes in the games we have.”
England took just two points from their four Nations League matches in June and are bottom of their group.
A defeat in Milan would confirm relegation to League B before Germany visit Wembley on Monday night.
This month’s two games are the squad’s last chance to impress Southgate before the World Cup kicks off in November.
