Mason Mount will not play any part in England's March internationals after suffering another injury setback. Chelsea boss Graham Potter said the midfielder will be absent for the clashes against Italy and Ukraine less than 24 hours after he was named in Gareth Southgate's squad.
Despite the England manager selecting the 24-year-old as part of his midfield roster, the Blues have decided he needs more time to recover from a pelvic injury. Mount has missed a number of games with this ongoing issue in his lower abdomen, but did return to training on Tuesday along with a number of teammates.
However, he will now use this two-week break as an opportunity to fully regain fitness rather than plying his trade for the national side. Potter added that Mount will not be available for selection for Chelsea's Premier League match against Everton on Saturday evening.
