England hit with major injury blow as Sky Sports reporter suggests announcement could be coming imminently

England have been dealt another injury blow, with doubts over one player's fitness for Euro 2024.

England have been hit with a significant injury blow ahead of the final Group C game with Slovenia on Tuesday.

After recovering from the dismal draw with Denmark, the Three Lions have been back training in their base in Blankenhain and preparing for the clash in Cologne.

But yet again, Gareth Southgate does not have his entire 26-man squad available for sessions.

Luke Shaw is still not fit and is not training with the rest of the team.

Instead, according to Sky Sports, Shaw is taking part in indoor training as he continues to build up fitness.

Shaw's presence in the squad was a huge gamble after an injury-hit season for Manchester United and he was not named as a substitute in Frankfurt.

England's Euro 2020 final goalscorer is a huge doubt to feature at any point in the competition and reporter Rob Dorsett speculated over the possibility that an imminent announcement could be due.

He says he "wouldn't be surprised" if it was communicated by the FA today or tomorrow that Shaw is flying home.

If that is the case, Kieran Trippier will likely continue to deputise at left-back - though Joe Gomez has also played there on occasion for Liverpool.

Shaw has not played since February after suffering a hamstring injury in United's 2-1 win over Luton.

Unlike teammate Harry Maguire, Southgate chose to take a risk with Shaw and head into the tournament without a left-footed defender - overlooking both Tyrick Mitchell and Ben Chilwell.

The Southampton youth product has previously been out on the training pitch for some sessions but has largely been following an individual training programme.

Without Shaw, Liverpool have lacked balance and width on the left side in games against Serbia and Denmark.
