Jude Bellingham and Levi Colwill have withdrawn from the England squad for the upcoming Euro 2024 qualifiers against Malta and North Macedonia due to injury.
Real Madrid's Bellingham and Chelsea defender Colwill are suffering with shoulder injuries which have kept them out for their clubs.
The duo reported to St George's Park to be assessed but have now returned to their clubs for treatment, the FA has confirmed.
Marcus Rashford and Kalvin Phillips will join up with the squad later this week "owing to personal matters". The rest of the group turned up for international duty on Monday.
Uncapped trio Cole Palmer, Rico Lewis, and Ezri Konsa were called up on Monday as late additions to the squad, replacing James Maddison, Callum Wilson and Lewis Dunk after they withdrew with injury.
