Tottenham right-back Kieran Trippier has withdrawn from the England squad for the upcoming international break.
The defender was injured in our match against Crystal Palace and was replaced by Serge Aurier in the win.
The Three Lions were to face the United States of America and Croatia during the break, and hopefully, Trippier will get back to fitness for our important clash against Chelsea post the break.

The game against Chelsea will be huge given that we are just one point behind the Blues in the table. Maurizio Sarri’s men unbeaten in all competitions, and it would be amazing if we can be the first team to beat them.
Many Tottenham supporters were glad that Trippier would get time to regain fitness but also wanted the club to withdraw Harry Kane given the importance of the fixture.
Don’t care withdraw kane and alli
