Thomas Tuchel has never been one to lack the courage of his convictions but Harry Maguire's England World Cup snub makes less sense the more you think about it - while Ivan Toney's call-up is a luxury pick, writes IAN LADYMAN

England manager Thomas Tuchel has omitted Harry Maguire from his World Cup squad, a decision that has drawn criticism and surprise, with even Maguire's mother publicly reacting to the snub. The exclusion is being questioned by commentators who argue it is difficult to justify the more it is scrutinised. Meanwhile, Ivan Toney has received a call-up to the squad, though his inclusion is being described as a luxury selection rather than an essential pick.
