Marcus Rashford and Bukayo Saka have withdrawn from the England squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Albania and Poland.
Manchester United forward Rashford linked up with the England squad despite carrying a knock, while Arsenal winger Saka remained at his club for treatment despite being named in the squad.
Neither player figured in the 5-0 win over San Marino on Thursday, and following a medical assessment it was deemed sensible to release them to work on their fitness.
