Jadon Sancho is the high-profile absentee as Gareth Southgate announces his 26-man World Cup squad, with Tammy Abraham and James Ward-Prowse also left at home... but who else failed to make the cut?

Manchester United star Jadon Sancho was the high-profile absentee as Gareth Southgate confirmed his World Cup squad for Qatar on Thursday.

The 22-year-old, who joined the Manchester club only last summer for a whopping £73million, has struggled for form since arriving in England, last making an appearance for the Three Lions in September last year.

And Southgate, who announced his squad with a little over a week to go until the tournament gets underway on November 20, has opted not to take the former Borussia Dortmund star to Qatar.
