Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice has withdrawn from the England squad due to injury, joining a total of five players who have called out injury issues. The withdrawals include Tino Livramento from Newcastle United, Cole Palmer from Chelsea, and Marcus Rashford and Kobbie Mainoo from Manchester United. All five withdrawals are due to injury concerns, and James Garner and Morgan Gibbs-White have been called up in their place.
Rice's last appearance for Arsenal was against Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday, and his hamstring trouble has been an ongoing issue. The midfielder may seek time off to address his injury concerns. Arsenal currently has four players in the England squad, including Bukayo Saka, Eberechi Eze, Ezri Konsa, and Myles Lewis-Skelly.
With only two players called up so far, Tuchel will have a smaller squad, and the remaining four Arsenal players might have a more significant role in the upcoming Nations League matches.
