England manager Gareth Southgate reveals that Phil Jones was forced to withdraw from the squad to face Germany and Lithuania due to a toe injury.

England manager Gareth Southgate has revealed that a toe injury forced Phil Jones to withdraw from the squad to face Germany and Lithuania.

The Manchester United defender had been due to make his first England appearance since November 2015 during the upcoming double-header, only to pull out of the squad before their trip to Dortmund today.

Southgate confirmed that the 25-year-old sustained a suspected toe injury in training, but is still unsure as to the severity of the problem.

"We'll know more once he's had a scan or X-ray. It was just a sort of innocuous tackle. He's caught the bottom of somebody's foot, possible injury to his toe," he told reporters.

Jones has made 20 appearances for England since his debut in 2011.
