Trent Alexander-Arnold and Jack Grealish have both withdrawn from the squad already this week.

Meanwhile, Bukayo Saka, Callum Wilson and Levi Colwill were all absent from training on Tuesday.

As a result, Southgate drafted in Lewis Hall, Bashir Humphreys and Alfie Devine from the under-21s.

Lee Carlsey’s Young Lions are also at St. George’s Park ahead of a Euros qualifier away to Luxembourg on Monday.

18-year-old Hall made his under-21 debut in June but did not feature as England won the Euros in July.

The versatile teenager completed a move to boyhood club Newcastle from Chelsea last month.

He had been a team-mate of Humprheys at Stamford Bridge, with the defender remaining on the Blues’ books.

Yet to be capped at under-21 level, Humphreys is currently on loan at Swansea.

Devine is also currently on loan, having joined Port Vale from Tottenham for the season.

The 19-year-old has already registered a goal and an assist in three appearances for the League One side.

England take on Ukraine in Wroclaw on Saturday as they look to maintain their 100 per cent record in qualifying.

The Three Lions then face Scotland at Hampden Park on September 12 to conclude the international break.
