Mason Greenwood has pulled out of the provisional England Euro 2020 squad due to a pre-existing injury.
The Manchester United forward was part of the initial 33-man squad selected by Gareth Southgate for this summer’s tournament. But ahead of the announcement of the final squad on Tuesday, his club have said he will not take part in the European Championship.
A statement from Manchester United read: “Manchester United striker Mason Greenwood has withdrawn from the provisional England Euro 2020 squad, in order to recover fully from an underlying injury that also kept him out of the Under-21 European Championship in March.
“Mason’s club appearances were managed carefully to maintain his availability through the intensive 2020-21 Premier League and Europa League schedules.
“But a further spell of tournament football would not be beneficial and Mason will remain at Manchester United to recuperate and prepare for pre-season training.”
Southgate will name a cut-down 26-man squad later on Tuesday.
