Joe Gomez has withdrawn from the England squad after picking up an injury in Friday’s 1-0 win over Holland, the Football Association has announced.

The Liverpool defender was substituted less than 10 minutes into the match in Amsterdam and will play no part in Tuesday’s fixture against Italy at Wembley.

Liverpool said the extent of Gomez’s injury would be assessed by the club’s medical team once he returns.
