James Maddison and Callum Wilson have been named in England's World Cup squad for Qatar - but Fikayo Tomori, Marc Guehi, Ivan Toney, Tammy Abraham, Ryan Sessegnon, James Ward-Prowse and Jarrod Bowen have all missed out on a spot.
Three Lions manager Gareth Southgate is set to name his official 26-man squad for the tournament later on Thursday.
Maddison was initially feared to be in danger of missing out on a plane ticket to Qatar - despite his scintillating season with Leicester City - but his form has been rewarded by Southgate.
But AC Milan's Tomori and Crystal Palace's Guehi - both highly rated young centre halves - will not travel, with Kyle Walker and Ben White expected to be named among the centre back options.
