Trent Alexander-Arnold to miss Euro 2020 due to injury

England defender Trent Alexander-Arnold to miss Euro 2020 due to injury

England defender Trent Alexander-Arnold has been ruled out of Euro 2020 due to a thigh injury.

The Liverpool right-back injured himself late in Wednesday's friendly against Austria, and a scan confirmed he had a quad tear.

The 22-year-old is likely to be out for six weeks, after which he will return to his club for rehabilitation.

Gareth Southgate will not announce a replacement until after the last warm-up game against Romania on Sunday.

When Southgate revealed his squad last week, one of the key talking points was Alexander-inclusion Arnold's as one of four right-backs, despite the Liverpool player missing the previous seven internationals.

Gutted for you, @TrentAA.

Wishing you a speedy recovery! 💪
