Lewis Dunk suffers England heartbreak after "playing on adrenaline" for Brighton

Brighton captain Lewis Dunk has been forced to withdraw from the England squad for the upcoming matches against Malta and North Macedonia.

Jude Bellingham will also play no part in the Euro 2024 qualifiers because of injury but asked to join up and be part of the camp this coming week. Borussia Dortmund midfielder Bellingham, 19, who is set to join Real Madrid this summer, will continue his rehabilitation at St George’s Park as he recovers from injury.

It is a real blow for Dunk who had waited patiently for an England recall but is now out after a niggling injury issue. He said: “I was proud to be recalled to the England squad. My first England cap remains one of the proudest moments of my career. I never gave up hope, and I hope that opportunity will come again.
