Marcus Rashford has withdrawn from the England squad for the games against the Czech Republic and Montenegro because of an ankle injury.
The forward sustained the issue during Manchester United's draw with Liverpool last month, and Gareth Southgate says he has now returned to Old Trafford, despite the efforts of England's medical team to get him fit.
Southgate said: "He's been with our medical team all week. We've tried to progress his training through the week, so he did some running with them.
"But it's clear to us he's not going to be ready for our matches, so we're going to send him back to the club. He's out of the two games."
Rashford's withdrawal comes as a blow to Southgate, who has used the striker in all of England's matches this season.
