England will be without six players for Monday’s Euro 2024 warm-up game against Bosnia-Herzegovina, including defenders Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw and John Stones.
Manchester United’s Maguire and Shaw are nursing injuries and manager Gareth Southgate said it is also “unlikely” they will be fit in time for Friday’s friendly against Iceland.
Stones is unavailable for the game against Bosnia having joined up with the squad late, while Anthony Gordon is recovering from an injury and Bukayo Saka is being rested.
Jude Bellingham is due to join up with the Three Lions squad on 8 June after helping Real Madrid to win the Champions League on Saturday.
“All are progressing well – we’re pleased with the progress they’ve made,” said Southgate.
“John reported a bit later so hasn’t worked with us for the number of days, so it’s better for him to follow an individual programme.
“Bukayo’s fine and progressing well, but he’ll rest tomorrow and then he should be available for Friday.”
The two friendly matches, at St James’ Park and Wembley, are England’s final two games before Euro 2024 gets under way on 14 June.
England’s opening game at the tournament will be against Serbia on 16 June.
