Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr admits Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham is set to be capped by England.

Abraham's Chelsea teammate Fikayo Tomori is also eligible to represent both England and Nigeria - as well as Canada.

"They are both interesting players, but we have made our immediate plans without Tammy Abraham and Fikayo Tomori," Rohr told BBC Sport.

"They are not interested in discussing their international options at the moment and we need to respect that.

"It is also significant to note that Abraham has been assured that he will be in the England squad."

He added: "Tomori is a very good friend of our player Ola Aina (former Chelsea and England youth international) and he said he does not want to discuss this for now.

"We have to focus on what we have and not lose focus about what people say all the time."
