January 15, 2019 Dele Alli Pulls Out of England Squad With Injury

<strong>Dele Alli has withdrawn from the England squad for Tuesday’s friendly against Switzerland with a minor muscle strain.</strong>

<strong>Alli has returned to Tottenham for further treatment in the hope he will be available for their Premier League return against Liverpool at Wembley on Saturday.</strong>

<strong>He managed to get through 90 minutes in the 2-1 Nations League defeat but his absence will lead to an additional change for Tuesday’s Kick It Out international at the King Power Stadium.</strong>

<strong> </strong><strong>Gareth Southgate had already brought in Leicester Pair Ben Chilwell and Demarai Gray into his squad </strong><strong>for the match on their home ground.</strong>

<strong>He is not expected to add any further players to his squad amid reports that Southgate could make as many as nine changes to his side against the Swiss.</strong>

<strong>Chilwell and Gray are among players who could secure a senior debut, with goalkeepers Alex McCarthy and Marcus Bettinelli also hoping to complete their rise to full England honours.</strong>

<strong>Manchester United left-back Luke Shaw will miss the game after sustaining a head injury in Saturday’s game.</strong>

<strong>Shaw left the England camp on Monday following the concussion he suffered after a nasty collision with Spain right-back Dani Carvajal.</strong>

<strong>He had reported back to St George’s Park for monitoring but was released to Manchester United after showing no ill-effects.</strong>
