We asked for your views on Dominic Calvert-Lewin being omitted from Thomas Tuchel's England squad for the World Cup.

Here are some of your comments:

Jamie: I feel sorry for him, but it's great for Leeds. Rest over the summer and come back firing. If Harry Kane stays fit the others will get very few minutes anyway.

Gavin: After Harry Kane, Calvert-Lewin must be England's next-best typical English centre forward as his hold up play is excellent and he is always a threat. It's disappointing he has been overlooked after such a good season.

Simon: I think it's England and England fans who are the unlucky ones that Calvert-Lewin is not in the squad. He has shown he has ability and the right mentality and will keep growing.

Chelsea: I'm so gutted DCL isn't going to the World Cup. He's proven he can stay fit and he's a proven poacher. He fully deserves a place on the plane ahead of Ivan Toney!

Phil: I think he is worth a spot as he plays in a much better league than Toney. Having said that, at least he will be fit for the start of next season.

Ash: I think DCL is a bit unlucky, but it's hard to look past the form of Ollie Watkins towards the end of the season. Shame there wasn't room for both.

David: Tuchel will rue not having a genuine target man as an option off the bench.
