Everton's Tom Davies withdraws from England U21s match in Ukraine
Wednesday 8 November 2017 18:22, UK
Everton's Tom Davies has withdrawn from the England Under-21 squad for Friday's Euro 2019 qualifier in Ukraine.
The 19-year-old has pulled out due to a "minor injury", according to his club.
Davies, along with Jack Harrison, missed training on Wednesday but both were expected to be fit for the match in Kiev.
The Football Association has now announced that West Brom's England Under-20 midfielder Sam Field has been called up in Davies' place.
England U21 manager Aidy Boothroyd has already been faced with the withdrawals of Ben Chilwell, Dael Fry and Josh Onomah.
Meanwhile, Tammy Abraham, Joe Gomez and Ruben Loftus-Cheek - all uncapped at senior level - have been included in Gareth Southgate's squad for the friendlies against Germany and Brazil this week.
England's U21 side currently top Group 4 in qualifying for Euro 2019 following three wins and a draw from their opening four fixtures, leaving them four points ahead of second-placed Scotland, albeit having played a game more.
