Gareth Southgate facing left back dilemma for Nations League game against Denmark as Ben Chilwell and Kieran Tripper pull OUT of England duty on eve of Wembley meeting

Gareth Southgate will be without Ben Chilwell and Kieran Trippier against Denmark on Wednesday night after the two full-backs pulled out of England's squad

Chilwell, who has yet to feature during this international break having missed the Wales friendly after breaching the Government's 'Rule of Six' at Tammy Abraham's surprise birthday party, has returned to Chelsea for assessment on a pre-existing injury.

He missed the 2-1 UEFA Nations League win over Belgium on Sunday with a reported illness and has now left the Three Lions group to rehabilitate an existing injury complaint.
