Nico O’Reilly withdraws from England squad with injury

Ezri Konsa and Nico O’Reilly were the only England squad members to miss Monday morning’s training, with both following individual programmes. BBC Sport says they are doubtful for Tuesday night’s Nations League match against the Czech Republic. The reason for their separate programmes is unclear. [1]

Both played the full 90 minutes of Saturday’s 3–2 defeat by Spain. BBC Sport identifies Lewis Hall as a possible left-back option if O’Reilly cannot play, while Jarrad Branthwaite could be considered in central defence if Konsa is unavailable. [1]

England are due to face the Czech Republic twice in this international window, with a trip to Croatia in Rijeka between those matches. [1]

Update

Nico O’Reilly has withdrawn from England’s squad because of injury and will miss their final two Nations League matches of this international break. The Manchester City defender has returned to his club for further assessment. [2]

O’Reilly will miss Saturday’s away match against Croatia and Tuesday’s game against the Czech Republic. He missed England’s recent 2-0 win over the Czechs, when Lewis Hall played in his place. [2]
