'Decisions against us' - Ten Hag unhappy after Manchester United loss to Arsenal
Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold and Manchester City’s Jack Grealish have been ruled out of England’s upcoming Euro 2024 qualifiers.
The Three Lions play Ukraine in Poland on Saturday before travelling to Hamden Park for a 150th Anniversary Heritage match against Scotland three days later.
Alexander-Arnold and Grealish have both withdrawn from Gareth Southgate’s squad following injury checks on their arrival at St Geroge’s Park on Monday.
A statement from England said: "The pair reported to St George’s Park on Monday but have since withdrawn from the Three Lions squad following checks on injuries sustained prior to camp."
Grealish played the full 90 minutes and grabbed an assist in Man City’s dramatic win against Sheffield United last week, but was not included in the squad against Fulham on Saturday after suffering a suspected thigh injury.
Alexander-Arnold captained Liverpool in Sunday’s 3-0 win against Aston Villa and played 71 minutes before he was replaced by Jarell Quansah.
It is reported the defender has been forced to miss England’s upcoming games due to a minor hamstring injury and will be sidelined for two weeks.
The remainder of the England squad reported to St George’s Park on Monday, except Newcastle United’s Kieran Trippier who will arrive on Wednesday owing to a personal commitment.
Southgate has decided not to call up replacements.
England are top of Group C with four wins from four games, including a 2-0 win over Ukraine at Wembley.
Ukraine are in second place on six points after two wins and a defeat from their three games.
