Chelsea defender Tosin Adarabioyo has been left out of the England national team ahead of their UEFA Nations League clashes against Greece and Finland, Soccernet.ng reports.
The former Fulham star was also overlooked for England’s EURO 2024 squad, fuelling rumours that he may be reconsidering his international allegiance and could soon switch to represent Nigeria’s Super Eagles.
There has been growing speculation within the Nigerian football community that the former Manchester City academy product is ready to don the green and white of Nigeria. This latest omission by England may further open the door for such a move.
England’s interim manager, Lee Carsley, named John Stones, Ezri Konsa, and Marc Guéhi among his defensive options, but the 27-year-old Adarabioyo was notably absent from the squad list.
While Adarabioyo has only featured in two Premier League games for Chelsea this season, his exclusion from the national team is not solely tied to his recent playing time.
Even during his impressive stint at Fulham, which attracted interest from top clubs like Manchester United, Newcastle United, and AC Milan, he was still left out of the England squad.
The exact reason for his continued omission remains unclear, but if Adarabioyo decides to switch allegiances, his presence would undoubtedly strengthen the Super Eagles’ backline.
However, reports suggest that Super Eagles’ caretaker coach is yet to hold formal talks with Adarabioyo regarding his potential commitment to Nigeria.

Tosin's gimmick didn't work out on Three Lions Coach,he wanted to use his intention speculation to lure the Coach to invite him to England team but failed this time around.
He should not use SE as a bait.
