England squad hit by five major injury withdrawals
England manager Thomas Tuchel faces significant squad disruptions ahead of the UEFA Nations League campaign. Five key players have withdrawn from the squad due to injuries or fitness concerns: Cole Palmer, Declan Rice, Marcus Rashford, Kobbie Mainoo, and Tino Livramento.
Palmer, who had recently been recalled to the national team, is sidelined with a muscle injury. Rashford and Mainoo are expected to miss fixtures following Manchester United's recent match, with Rashford dealing with a hip issue. Declan Rice is also out to allow for physical recovery, while Livramento faces injury concerns following recent training.
To fill these vacancies, Tuchel has called up Morgan Gibbs-White from Nottingham Forest and James Garner from Everton. The depleted squad must now prepare for a demanding schedule, including a match against Spain at Wembley on September 26, followed by fixtures against the Czech Republic and Croatia.
