England supporters and perhaps even Germany enthusiasts might be actually taken aback to hear news from the Athletic stating that Dominic Calvert-Lewin will not be part of the matchday squad tonight.
Greg O’Keefe of the Athletic reviews that Calvert-Lewin is ‘dissatisfied’ with the aid of the snub with the ones near the Everton megastar left baffled by using Gareth Southgate’s selection to cast aside England’s simplest backup striker.
The 24-yr-old has experienced only a single minute of action for the 3 Lions at the Euros this summer, which came as a stoppage time replacement in the beginning win against Croatia.
In spite of Calvert-Lewin being the simplest other herbal centre-ahead that England can call on aside from captain Harry Kane, the tough-operating goal-man might be left within the stands this night.
The Everton ahead, who scored sixteen gold standard League goals in 33 appearances this season, become even omitted as a relevant choice as Southgate referred to as on Marcus Rashford off the bench in opposition to Scotland.
Exclusive: Dominic Calvert-Lewin left out of Gareth Southgate’s #England squad for #EnglandvGermany this afternoon.

Believe he’s ‘disappointed’ & others close to him totally baffled by it as no back up to Kane (W/@David_Ornstein ) #EFC https://t.co/oG1SCg0qN0
Southgate is taking a massive risk in leaving Calvert-Lewin out of the photo considering the woeful shape that Kane has been in throughout the tournament to date.
The 3 Lions’ nice in the very last third could be even more vital this night because the Athletic document that Southgate will revert to a back five towards Joachim Low’s guys.
