withdraw from the England squad for the friendlies
against Spain and France.
James Milner has withdrawn from the England squad to face
Spain and France due to injury.
The Liverpool midfielder missed Sunday's defeat to Crystal
Palace with a hamstring problem but had been named in Roy
Hodgson's squad for the friendly matches this Friday in Alicante
and next Tuesday at Wembley.
The Football Association confirmed the news before adding that
no replacement will be called up in Milner's stead, meaning
Hodgson's midfield options for both matches are restricted to
Dele Alli, Ross Barkley, Michael Carrick, Fabian Delph, Eric Dier,
Adam Lallana, Jonjo Shelvey and Raheem Sterling.
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp had initially played down the
severity of the problem the former Manchester City man
sustained in the Europa League win over Rubin Kazan.
"He had not the best moment with his muscle," said Klopp last
week. "But he's an experienced player, and it was nothing
serious and in this moment he can train."
