Injured trio withdraw from England squad
Jordan Henderson, Raheem Sterling and Fabian Delph have become the latest players to pull out of the England squad for the upcoming home friendlies against Germany and Brazil.
Liverpool captain Henderson has withdrawn due to the thigh problem that kept him out of Saturday's 4-1 win against West Ham, while Manchester City duo Sterling and Delph are struggling with back and calf issues respectively.
It is a further blow to Gareth Southgate's preparations for the 2018 World Cup in Russia after Harry Kane and Harry Winks joined Tottenham team-mate Dele Alli on the sidelines on Monday.
Replacements for the latest absentees are yet to be announced, though England have announced a further squad update will be released on Wednesday (AEDT).
Jake Livermore was added to the squad after Kane and Winks were excused, but Southgate is likely to bolster his midfield options.
England takes on world champion Germany at Wembley on Saturday morning, before a clash with Brazil four days later.
