Reece James has been withdrawn from the England squad ahead of the Three Lions’ forthcoming games against Wales and Latvia.

The Chelsea skipper was our only representative in Thomas Tuchel’s England squad this month, but he will now not be involved in their matches this Thursday and next Tuesday.

James, who has 21 England caps, has featured for the Blues nine times this season, including in Saturday’s 2-1 victory over Liverpool.

James has been replaced in Tuchel’s squad by Manchester City’s Nico O’Reilly.
