England have been dealt an injury blow ahead of their second Group C game against Denmark.

In a statement the Three Lions revealed that 25 of Gareth Southgate's 26-man squad were training this morning, ahead of Thursday's encounter with Denmark.

Luke Shaw however was absent from the session, and is instead continuing his "individual programme elsewhere".

England said: "25 players are on the pitch for this morning’s training session, as

Luke Shaw continues his individual programme elsewhere.

"Kyle Walker will join Gareth Southgate for our pre-match media conference in Frankfurt this evening."

The development essentially confirms that England are set to continue with Kieran Trippier at left-back against Denmark, instead of playing Shaw, the only natural left-footed full-back in the squad.

However the Manchester United defender hasn't played since February due to a hamstring injury.

Shaw did not take part in training alongside England's non-playing squad members on Monday, following the Three Lions' Euro 2024 opener against Serbia.

He did join his team-mates for certain sessions last week, and will continue to be monitored by staff.

Speaking ahead of last Sunday game with Serbia, Southgate said: "Everyone is available.

"We have a decision whether Luke [Shaw] is possible to use from the bench or not. But everybody has trained today and is available."

England laboured to a 1-0 victory in their opening game of the competition against Serbia, with the game's only goal coming courtesy Jude Bellingham.

Meanwhile, Denmark could only muster a 1-1 draw with Slovenia.
