He had fallen behind the likes of Tino Livramento, Nico O’Reilly, Djed Spence and Dan Burn in the pecking order.

This means that his long-term girlfriend Anouska Santos is also out of the group.

The couple have four children together and have been dating since 2017.

Anouska had previously cheered on the full-back at the World Cup tournaments in 2018 and 2022, as well as the subsequent Euros.

Following that, he was seen with Geordie Shore’s Chloe Ferry in Ibiza.

The decision left him four caps short of becoming a centurion in an England shirt.

As Tuchel made his cuts to find his final 26-man squad, the omissions also left out some other notable Wags who had been regulars in the crowd.

Manchester City outcast Jack Grealish picked up an injury during his loan spell at Everton in January which ruled him out of contention.

As a result, his long-term Wag Sasha Attwood, will not be at the tournament.
