Tottenham midfielder injured on England duty

 

England have announced Dele Alli has withdrawn from the squad for Tuesday's friendly against Switzerland with a minor muscle strain.

 

Alli sustained the injury during England's 2-1 defeat to Spain on Saturday and Gareth Southgate will not risk the Tottenham creator against Switzerland.

 

England will also be without Luke Shaw after the Manchester United left-back sustained concussion against Spain, while Marcus Rashford is also a doubt with a hamstring injury.

Southgate promoted Leicester duo Ben Chilwell and Demarai Gray on Sunday but will not draft in any further reinforcements to compensate for the loss of Alli.

 

The 22-year-old completed 90 minutes against Spain but struggled to influence proceedings. He didn't have a shot or complete a tackle, and only created one goalscoring opportunity for a team-mate. Alli garnered a less-than-impressive WhoScored rating of 6.25 against Spain.
