Gareth Southgate has named his 23-man squad for England’s match against Germany at Wembley Stadium on Monday night, which excludes Liverpool and Manchester City stars.

In the biggest and perhaps most controversial omission, Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold has not been included for what is the Three Lions’ last game before November’s World Cup.

Jack Grealish of Manchester City has also been excluded, though this is due to a suspension after receiving his second yellow card of the Nations League season during the loss to Italy last Friday.

AC Milan defender Fikayo Tomori, Southampton midfielder James Ward-Prowse and West Ham forward Jarrod Bowen are the other names to have failed to make the cut.

It was anticipated that Southgate would use the Germany match to try out more inexperienced players given that England had already been demoted from the top division of the Nations League after collecting just one point in five games and failing to score from open play in any of them.

However, this does not appear to be the case, with Alexander-Arnold now in serious danger of missing out on a place on the plane to Qatar.

The 23-year-old right-back hasn’t played for England frequently under Southgate because Kyle Walker of Manchester City, Kieran Trippier of Newcastle, and Reece James of Chelsea are ahead of him in the lineup.

Tomori’s omission has also drawn criticism, given how well the 24-year-old has performed since moving from Chelsea to Milan last year, and the struggles of more established England centre-backs like Manchester United’s Harry Maguire.

Brentford striker Ivan Toney, who was previously left out of the squad to face Italy, is one player who has been added to the squad to face Germany and could earn his first international cap.

After an incredible start to the season in which he has scored five goals and provided three assists in just eight games for the Bees, the 26-year-old was called up to England for the first time ever for the September international break.
