Declan Rice, Cole Palmer and Marcus Rashford are among five England players ruled out of the squad because of injury ahead of the team’s match against Spain, Punch Nigeria reports. The report says all five players have withdrawn from England’s squad. It does not identify the other two absentees or provide details about the injuries that caused any of the withdrawals.
The departures affect the squad before its scheduled meeting with Spain. The supplied material does not state when the match will be played, where it will take place or whether any of the five players had been expected to start. It also gives no information about possible replacements, the expected recovery periods for Rice, Palmer or Rashford, or the response of England’s coaching staff.
The report therefore establishes only that the three named players, along with two other squad members, will not be available because of injury. Rice, Palmer and Rashford are prominent names in the announcement, but no further assessment of the effect on England’s plans is included in the supplied source. Any changes to the team’s selection or formation ahead of the Spain fixture are consequently not specified.
