Liverpool's Nathaniel Clyne out of England squad due to back injury

Nathaniel Clyne pulls out of the England squad for games against Scotland and France due to a back injury.

England manager Gareth Southgate has confirmed that Nathaniel Clyne has withdrawn from the squad due to injury.

The Liverpool right-back was named in the 25-man squad last week for the upcoming World Cup qualifier against Scotland and friendly with France.

However, Southgate revealed during a press conference this morning that the 26-year-old will play no part in the fixtures due to a back problem.

The Three Lions will face Scotland on June 10 before taking on France in a non-competitive fixture three days later.

Southgate told reporters that he is yet to decide on who will captain the team in Wayne Rooney's absence.
