Before England's last 2 rounds of European football, the army was shattered by injuries. Jody Binningham and Govier announced on Tuesday (14th) that they would withdraw from the team due to shoulder injuries, increasing the number of withdrawals from the list to 5. In addition, Rashford and Gavin Phillips will be delayed to return to the team until the end of this week due to "personal reasons", which will have a significant impact on the preparation of England's football team.
Jody Benningham and Govier missed the last league match due to shoulder injuries. They both reported to England but were found to be unfit for duty after a medical examination. The English FA issued a statement saying: "Benningham and Govier will not be able to participate in the European matches against Malta and North Macedonia. After the medical examination, it was decided to let them go back to their clubs to continue their rehabilitation program. Meanwhile, Lashford and Gavin Phillips will return to the team later this week for personal reasons."
