Man Utd blow as Kobbie Mainoo PULLS OUT of England squad with injury

  /  autty

KOBBIE MAINNO, Ezri Konsa and Morgan Gibbs-White have all withdrawn from England's upcoming Uefa Nations League squad.

The Three Lions host Greece at Wembley on Thursday, before heading to Finland on Sunday, in Lee Carsley's second round of fixtures.

The trio drop out after sustaining injuries for their respective clubs over the weekend in what is a triple injury blow for Carsley's new-look side.

Konsa, 26, suffered a hamstring injury and left the field just 12 minutes into Villa's goalless draw with Manchester United.

And Gibbs-White, 24, was removed after 76 minutes of Nottingham Forest's 1-1 draw at Chelsea.

But Mainoo played 85 minutes at Old Trafford on Sunday before he was replaced by Casemiro.

It comes as a blow for under-fire boss Erik ten Hag who also lost the services of Harry Maguire against Villa.

Mainoo has been carrying a knock for some time.

The Man Utd star was subbed off shortly before half-time during Ten Hag's 3-0 demolition by Tottenham a fortnight ago.

He travelled to Portugal with the Red Devils on Thursday as they drew 3-3 with Porto, but missed the game with a minor injury.

Meanwhile Carsley handed Konsa a starting role when the Three Lions beat Finland 2-0 at Wembley on 10 September.

Gibbs-White made his senior debut for England from the bench during their 2-0 victory against the Republic of Ireland on 7 September.

Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo also suggested the prognosis on Gibbs-White is unclear until they further investigate on Monday.

All other 22 players are at St. George’s Park with no further additions planned at this time.

Harry Kane was a doubt too, but he has since been cleared to play after arriving to St George's Park earlier today.
