Hart, Sturridge out of England squad

Joe Hart and Daniel Sturridge have withdrawn from the England squad to face Italy on Wednesday.

Hart missed Manchester City's win over Chelsea in the Community Shield with a back injury and it has since forced him to withdraw from international duty.

Sturridge came off the bench in the Community Shield but suffered a toe injury and will now remain at Chelsea for treatment.

No decision has been made as to whether replacements will be called up.
