Derby County player of the season last term - Fikayo Tomori was restored in the Chelsea squad due to the transfer ban and injury to German centre-half Antonio Rudiger. A big heart in training was awarded with a start against newcomers Sheffield United, by Frank Lampard.

And since then, young Tomori hasn't looked back. He's looked extremely comfortable with the ball, shown expressive pace in tracking back and kept some of the best forwards in the division, including Liverpool's Mohamed Salah, at bay.

Describing his moment after receiving the call-up, the 21-year-old remarked:

"Growing up and England and seeing the players playing at Wembley, it was such a good feeling. It’s indescribable. I tried to take it in as much as possible, but it was a very proud moment."

Tomori has been included in the squad alongside three other club teammates - Ross Barkley, Mason Mount and Tammy Abraham. Meanwhile, Blues youngsters Callum Hudson-Odoi and Reece James, who recently completed their comebacks from injury, have been asked to join up with the U-21 side.
