More injury worries for England as Tottenham's Rose withdraws

Roy Hodgson's England squad is in a quandary following the withdrawal of Danny Rose.

The Tottenham left-back, who was originally brought in to replace Manchester United's Luke Shaw, is out of this weekend's Euro2016 qualifier against Lithuania and next week's friendly with Italy.

A FA statement read: "Tottenham Hotspur's Danny Rose has withdrawn from the England camp through injury.

"The left-back will play no further part in preparation for the forthcoming fixtures against Lithuania and Italy and has returned to his club."

Hodgson has already had to deal with injuries to Shaw, Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster, and Liverpool pair Daniel Sturridge and Adam Lallana, and now Rose has added to their woes.
