Emile Smith Rowe is unlikely to feature for England in their friendly against Switzerland at Wembley tomorrow due to a minor injury, Gareth Southgate has said. The Arsenal attacker remains with the squad and could feature against Ivory Coast on Tuesday evening.
Goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale and forward Bukayo Saka have already been ruled out due to a hip injury and Covid-19. That means only one of the four Arsenal players initially named in the squad, centre back Ben White, is in line to play against a Swiss side captained by clubmate Granit Xhaka.
"Emile didn't train today so unlikely he'll be involved tomorrow," Southgate said. "Nothing too serious but we'll check to see if he'll be involved tomorrow. Raheem [Sterling] is absolutely fine but it was a shame to lose Bukayo. We're back in that place with Covid where there's a spike. It's a shame."
