Greenwood withdraws from England squad; Lingard reportedly out | OneFootball

Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood has withdrawn from the provisional England squad due to a pre-existing injury.

Greenwood was part of the initial 33-man squad selected by Gareth Southgate following his impressive end to the season.

But ahead of the announcement of the final squad on Tuesday, his club have said he will not take part in the European Championship.

“Manchester United striker Mason Greenwood has withdrawn from the provisional England Euro 2020 squad, in order to recover fully from an underlying injury that also kept him out of the Under-21 European Championship in March,” read an official statement.

“Mason’s club appearances were managed carefully to maintain his availability through the intensive 2020-21 Premier League and Europa League schedules.

“But a further spell of tournament football would not be beneficial and Mason will remain at Manchester United to recuperate and prepare for pre-season training.”

According to Mail Sport, Jesse Lingard will also miss out on the final 26-man squad despite his stunning resurgence at West Ham this season.

Lingard scored nine goals and assisted four after joining the Hammers on loan in January, helping the side finish 6th and secure European Football.
