Marcus Rashford and Mason Mount PULL OUT of Gareth Southgate's England squad, along with Nick Pope, as injuries rule them out... and Tottenham's Fraser Forster is called up

Marcus Rashford and Mason Mount have withdrawn from the England squad to face Italy and Ukraine this week.

Goalkeeper Nick Pope has also pulled out of the squad through injury and been replaced by Tottenham veteran Fraser Forster.

Rashford required treatment after taking a knock in Sunday’s win over Fulham, while Chelsea star Mount is continuing his rehabilitation from injury.

Pope is also suffering with a minor injury and is unavailable.

No further replacements are planned and 23 players arrived at St George’s Park on Monday ahead of the Euro 2024 qualifiers against Italy in Naples on Thursday and Ukraine at Wembley on Sunday.
