Roma chief Tiago Pinto says the club "can't acknowledge" Gareth Southgate's reasons to avoid Tammy Abraham and Chris Smalling with regards to Britain's World Cup squad.

Abraham was mooted as a possible understudy for Harry Kane, having scored 27 goals for Roma last season, yet after just managing four in 20 appearances in 2022-23 so far, Southgate instead went to in-frame Newcastle Joined frontman Callum Wilson.

The presence of Britain normal Harry Maguire too in defense over Smalling, despite restricted minutes for Manchester Joined together, has left Pinto fuming.

"I can't acknowledge, both Roma and the representatives of different clubs, that individuals attempt to justify international call-ups with what's going on at club level," Pinto told DAZN.

"On the off chance that Tammy is not piece of the Britain squad because he didn't score over the course of the past month, for instance, yet they called up a player sidelined for his club yesterday, then, at that point, Smalling should be a starter for Britain."

Abraham at last took care of a dry season of structure at some unacceptable time, as Southgate suggested in his squad selection press gathering.

Pinto admits there is further growing space for the assailant as well, adding: "I need to say we are satisfied with Tammy, yet always with the perspective that he can still improve, and I'm sure he will do.

"We're pleased to see our players go to the World Cup, because it is significant for them, yet I can't acknowledge that after a hit up there is discussion about the manner in which these players work at Roma as justification for a personal decision."
