Midfielder has hamstring problem Gareth Southgate praises Premier League success in Europe
Gareth Southgate will be without Jude Bellingham and Lewis Dunk during after they were ruled out of England’s qualifiers against Malta and North Macedonia.
Real Madrid-bound Bellingham is still suffering with the hamstring injury that ruled him out of Borussia Dortmund’s heart-breaking season finale, when they let slip the Bundesliga title by drawing 2-2 at home to Mainz. The midfielder will report to St George’s Park to receive further treatment, but will play not part in either match.
Dunk has withdrawn from the squad through injury and will not travel to the national football centre.
Southgate will have five members of Pep Guardiola’s side in his squad for this month’s qualifiers, with John Stones, Jack Grealish, Phil Foden, Kyle Walker and Kalvin Phillips all due to join up with the squad after enjoying their celebrations.
