Sturridge, Lallana withdraw from England squad
London: Daniel Sturridge and Adam Lallana have withdrawn from the England squad for the forthcoming matches against Lithuania and Italy, the Football Association (FA) confirmed on Tuesday.
Sturridge was forced to return Liverpool after scans showed the striker wouldn’t be fit to feature in Friday’s Euro 2016 qualifier against Lithuania at Wembley and next week’s friendly against Italy in Turin, reports Xinhua.
The 25-year-old was reported to have sustained a hip problem during Liverpool’s 1-2 defeat against Manchester United at Anfield on Sunday.
Sturridge’s absence could mean a first cap for in-form Tottenham Hotspurs striker Harry Kane, who took his goal tally for the season to 29 with a hat-trick against Leicester on Saturday.
Liverpool midfielder Lallana also withdrew from the squad after suffering a groin injury against United that forced him to come off at half-time.
Lallana was replaced by Tottenham’s emerging midfielder Ryan Mason, who was called up for the first time.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
