England injury 'far worse than feared' with player at risk of missing Euro 2024

England have been dealt a number of injury blows, with one in particular much worse than first feared.

One of England's latest injury blows is said to be "far worse than feared" and could result in an absence from Euro 2024.

England lost 1-0 to Brazil in Saturday's friendly at Wembley and ahead of the meeting with Belgium on Saturday, the Three Lions revealed three players had pulled out of the squad.

Kyle Walker, who captained England before being forced off in the first half, has headed back to Manchester City.

But Harry Maguire and Sam Johnstone have also picked up injuries, leading to Rico Lewis and James Trafford coming into the senior squad from the Under 21's.

The FA did not elaborate on the injury issues but the Daily Mail have followed up with a report on Johnstone, who may miss the upcoming tournament in Germany.

Since reporting to England duty, the Crystal Palace goalkeeper has suffered an elbow injury and it's claimed there are concerns he may not feature again this season.

Johnstone has played 23 times in all competitions for the Eagles this term and established himself as first-choice in between the sticks under new boss Oliver Glasner.

But the injury will give Dean Henderson an opportunity to impress in goal and perhaps even force his way into Gareth Southgate's thinking.

Jordan Pickford will go into the Euros as England's No.1 once again but the situation in regards to back-up goalkeepers is less than ideal.

Aaron Ramsdale has had to make do as David Raya's understudy at Arsenal, while Nick Pope is recovering from a shoulder injury suffered in December.

Burnley's Trafford has been called up for the first time but there is clamour for Jack Butland to come back into the fold after his fine form in goal for Rangers.

Butland has been capped nine times by England, with his last appearance coming in 2018.
