Luke Shaw has withdrawn from the England squad to face Czech Republic and Montenegro.
The Manchester United star will miss the Euro 2020 double-header through injury in another injury blow to Gareth Southgate.
John Stones, Fabian Delph and Ruben Loftus-Cheek have already dropped out through injury — though their withdrawals were offset by the call-ups of James Ward-Prowse and Callum Hudson-Odoi.
Shaw's withdrawal means Leicester's Ben Chilwell is in pole position to start the two games.
Jordan Henderson, however, is expected to be fit for international duty despite carrying an ankle injury.
The Liverpool captain missed Sunday's win at Fulham, but his club boss Jurgen Klopp said: ''He will go to the national team. He has two or three days still at Melwood, but it still looks positive.
'When it looks positive and he can train, he will go to the national team. He was not able to play today, but it's not that serious. In three or four days, it should be fine.'
