Sam Johnstone also withdrew from the squad with an injury so James Trafford and Rico Lewis have been promoted from the Under-21s to link up with the seniors at Tottenham’s training ground.

Maguire was withdrawn midway through the second half of England’s 1-0 defeat to Brazil yesterday and had a scan today.

Gareth Southgate took off Maguire, alongside Ben Chilwell, in what was thought to be a planned substitution.

The former Leicester team-mates were replaced by Lewis Dunk and Joe Gomez at Wembley.
