Jude Bellingham and Levi Colwill withdraw from England squad for November Euro 2024 qualifiers

Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham and Chelsea defender Levi Colwill have shoulder injuries and returned to their clubs for treatment. Marcus Rashford and Kalvin Phillips will join the England team later this week due to personal matters.

Jude Bellingham and Levi Colwill cannot play in the upcoming Euro 2024 qualifiers against Malta and North Macedonia because they are injured.

Real Madrid’s Bellingham and Chelsea defender Colwill have shoulder injuries that have prevented them from playing for their clubs.

The duo went to St George’s Park to get checked, but the FA has confirmed that they have now returned to their clubs for treatment.

Marcus Rashford and Kalvin Phillips will join the squad later this week due to personal reasons. The rest of the group arrived for international duty on Monday.

The team made some changes to the squad. Cole Palmer, Rico Lewis, and Ezri Konsa were added to the squad, while James Maddison, Callum Wilson, and Lewis Dunk withdrew due to injury.

Chelsea’s Palmer and Man City’s Lewis were promoted from the U21s while Aston Villa defender Konsa, an U20 World Cup winner with England in 2017, was called up to the senior side for the first time.

England have qualified for Euro 2024, but they are still competing for first place in Group C.
