Tuchel England squad Toney Watkins out

Thomas Tuchel has left Ivan Toney and Ollie Watkins off his England squad, and the word is that this is purely a sporting decision. Both strikers had previously lined up alongside Harry Kane for England at the World Cup, so the drop is not about pedigree. What makes it interesting is the timing: Toney and Watkins have each opted to keep playing in the Saudi Pro League. Coincidence, or does that choice carry weight with the national team? Dominic Calvert-Lewin gets the call back into the England setup in their place.
