Ruben Loftus-Cheek has reportedly ruptured his Achilles and England manager Gareth Southgate sympathised with the Chelsea midfielder.
Gareth Southgate is disappointed Ruben Loftus-Cheek cannot play for England in the Nations League Finals.
Loftus-Cheek has had a breakthrough season but faces a long spell on the sidelines after rupturing his Achilles during a friendly in the United States. According to the Guardian, Chelsea are waiting to find out if it is a full or partial rupture.
Southgate confirmed the midfielder, along with Chelsea team-mate Callum Hudson-Odoi, would have been in the squad - which he will finalise on May 27 - had he been fit.
"We will find out more about a couple of players in that period and then I am going to have to make a couple of decisions," Southgate told reporters.
"But we can change if we have injuries after that date. Frankly there is every chance that is going to happen.
"We have just got to make the best possible decisions really with the information that we have. It is constantly moving.
"I went to bed last night and Ruben is in the squad and playing brilliantly and now it is a huge disappointment for him. He misses now a major European final and a brilliant opportunity with us.
"In particular he has really come on in the last few months and looked strong and playing with a lot of confidence and I am really disappointed for him in particular."
