Jack Grealish, Trent Alexander-Arnold out of England squad through injury
The duo were unsurprisingly called up to Gareth Southgate's squad for next Saturday's Euro 2024 qualifier with Ukraine and their 150th Anniversary Heritage match versus Scotland on September 12.
However, both Grealish and Alexander-Arnold arrived at St George's Park nursing injuries from their domestic commitments, as the former was absent from Man City's 5-1 thrashing of Fulham with a quadriceps strain.
Meanwhile, Alexander-Arnold came off on the 71-minute mark of Liverpool's 3-0 win over Aston Villa due to a hamstring injury, as he headed straight down the Anfield tunnel following his withdrawal.
Now, England have confirmed that both Grealish and Alexander-Arnold have been sent home to focus on their recoveries, and Southgate is not planning to call up any replacements.
Additionally, Newcastle United's Kieran Trippier will be a late arrival to the camp due to a personal commitment, but the Three Lions are otherwise well-stocked for their return to action.
«Jack Grealish and Trent Alexander-Arnold have been ruled out of England's September fixtures. The pair reported to St. George's Park on Monday but have since withdrawn from the Three Lions squad following checks on injuries sustained prior to camp,» a statement read.
«All other players are due as planned apart from Kieran Trippier who will arrive on Wednesday owing to a personal commitment.
»There are no further call ups planned as Gareth Southgate's squad prepare for Saturday's UEFA EURO 2024 against Ukraine in Wroclaw and Tuesday's 150th Anniversary Heritage Match with Scotland in Glasgow."
