England interim head coach Lee Carsley has lost three members of his England side due to injury.
Ezri Konsa (£4.5m), Kobbie Mainoo (£5.2m) and Morgan Gibbs-White (£6.3m) have all withdrawn from the Three Lions squad ahead of Thursday’s clash with Greece.
Like many of the withdrawals that we’ll see over the next fortnight, Mainoo’s exit from the England camp sounds precautionary.
The Red Devils say that the midfielder has been “managing an issue” of late. Mainoo missed last Thursday’s draw with Porto before lasting 85 minutes of the stalemate at Villa Park.
Konsa was injured early on in that match in the West Midlands – but there is relatively good news emerging.
Unai Emery said after the game that he didn’t know whether Konsa’s issue was a “big or small” injury.
But The Telegraph now reports that the player could only be sidelined for one or two weeks.
As for Gibbs-White, he landed awkwardly on his ankle during Nottingham Forest’s draw with Chelsea at the weekend.
Scans have reportedly only revealed a “sprain”, so there’s still a chance he could be back for the Gameweek 8 clash against Crystal Palace.
