Winger Anthony Gordon has withdrawn from the England squad due to an injury sustained in its World Cup qualifying opener against Albania and has returned to his club Newcastle United, the national team announced on Sunday.
Gordon came on as a substitute in the latter stages of England’s 2-0 win over Albania at Wembley Stadium on Friday but went down with what appeared to be a hip injury.
“Anthony Gordon has withdrawn from Three Lions camp having sustained an injury during Friday night’s 2-0 win over Albania,” England said in a statement.
