"The World Cup is six months away and there's a lot of football to be played. "I know he's watching and keeping an eye because he called up Ruben. That gives me the confidence I can make it. "He came to Milan last season and I know he gets our data and sees our clips regularly, too. "The way he's spoken about it is that it's difficult because there's so many players in that position, and I get it because you have players like John Stones, Marc Guehi, Dan Burn and Ezri Konsa. "But the World Cup is still a dream and I'm working towards that."
"Tomori has featured in 13 of Milan's 15 Serie A games this season, with only Alexis Saelemaekers (23) winning more tackles than the 28-year-old (18), while he has also won the sixth-most duels for his side in the competition (39)."
"I spoke to him after the last international break in November. We've spoken a few times and the message is to keep doing what I'm doing,"
Fikayo Tomori made his England debut in 2019 and won five caps under Gareth Southgate. He previously represented Canada at Under-19 level. Tomori has not been called into the England squad for over two years but has been a regular for AC Milan this season. He has played 13 of Milan's 15 Serie A matches, ranks highly in tackles and duels for the club, and has seen a confidence boost after teammate Ruben Loftus-Cheek received a recent call-up. Tomori spoke with Thomas Tuchel and aims to secure a place ahead of the March squad selection and the final World Cup decision.
