England manager Gareth Southgate has announced a 33-man provisional squad list for the upcoming European Championship.

Tammy Abraham and Fikayo Tomori, who were eligible to represent the Super Eagles before pledging their futures to the Three Lions, have not been selected by Southgate.

The Chelsea duo were heavily courted by Nigeria Football Federation president Amaju Pinnick before they chose to represent the 1966 world champions.

There are no places for two other players of Nigerian descent in the form of Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Dele Alli and Chelsea star Ross Barkley.

Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka is in contention to represent his country of birth at a senior tournament for the first time having made the provisional squad, which will be pruned down to 26 latest Tuesday, June 1.

Nigerians have taken to Twitter to react to the England squad list announced on Tuesday, with many questioning Southgate's decision to axe Fikayo Tomori, who spent the second half of the season on loan at Italian giants AC Milan.

Some have expressed surprise that he was not picked and others are of the opinion that he should not have rejected Nigeria when they came calling.

Here is how Nigerians have reacted to England's Euro 2020 squad list and Tomori's omission :

@izu_dafe : "Shocking not to see Tomori on the provisional list!!"

@metro_nwa : "Tammy and tomori no get sense at all , for their mind they think say England go dey use Dem for important tournament if no be ordinary friendly match"

@__osinachi : "Tbh with the different profiles of striker they have, though it's pretty harsh I kinda get the reasoning not including Bamford. And I think Pope is injured. But Ramsdale, Coady, Mings, Godfrey have no business being there ahead of Tomori and Konsa".

@wolexismedia : "If Tomori likes, he should out jump Ronaldo. We go dey wait am next year when he switches allegiance to Nigeria".

@AfolabiISR : "Tomori didn't make this list?! chai!"

@BreeeJet : "Tomori and Abraham didn't make the England squad".

@metro_nwa : "Tomori and Tammy  made worst decision in their life by chosen England ahead of Nigeria".

@dipo__yy : "Tomori didn’t get called up and this man is mentioning Dele Alli?"

@directordiji : "Honestly surprised TOMORI didn’t make the team list."

@ObaDosunmu : "Tomori and Abraham getting excluded from the England squad is sad but they deserve everything they get for choosing England over Nigeria."
