Wayne Rooney is set to miss next week’s England games against Germany and Lithuania but Manchester United team mate Marcus Rashford will make the squad.
Rashford’s inclusion for the friendly in Dortmund on Wednesday and World Cup qualifier at Wembley four days later puts the Football Association on collision course with United boss Jose Mourinho as the forward is still likely to be included in the Under 21 squad for this summer’s European Championship.
Manager Gareth Southgate looks likely to leave out Rooney when he announces his squad on Thursday due to concerns over a knee injury.
