England boss Gareth Southgate talks about Fikayo Tomori and Tammy Abraham being included in his squad for games against Bulgaria and the Czech Republic.

Defender Tomori has been called up to the senior squad for the first time, while striker Abraham is back in after a fine start to the season for Chelsea.

Their Blues team-mates Mason Mount and Ross Barkley have again been included.

Tomori, who previously played for Canada at Under-20 level, has impressed since being promoted to the first team by Chelsea manager Frank Lampard, having played under him on loan at Derby County last season.

Southgate said: “It’s a good opportunity for us to take a closer look at him.”
