Kieran Trippier among four out of England squad for Nations League
Nathan Redmond, Harry Winks and James Ward-Prowse also fail to make the cut
Tuesday 28 May 2019 23:15, UK
Tottenham right-back Kieran Trippier has not been included in England's 23-man squad for the Nations League finals, while Harry Kane retains his place.
Spurs midfielder Harry Winks along with Southampton duo Nathan Redmond and James Ward-Prowse are the other names to be dropped from Gareth Southgate's preliminary 27-man squad.
Tottenham striker Kane, who has not played since April 9 due to an ankle injury, declared himself fit on Monday ahead of Saturday's Champions League final against Liverpool.
Southgate said World Cup semi-final goalscorer Trippier had lost his place due to fellow right-backs Kyle Walker and Trent Alexander-Arnold "finishing the season so strongly".
Winks failed to make the squad, despite being in contention for the Champions League final, because he has not played since April 9 and would be unavailable for assessment until two days before the first game.
Meanwhile, Ward-Prowse and Redmond will remain with the squad for the time being, ahead of the tournament with England's first game taking place on June 6 against the Netherlands, live on Sky Sports.
