Anthony Gordon forced to withdraw from England squad due to injury

Gordon, 24, came on as a late substitute for Marcus Rashford in Friday's 2-0 victory at Wembley, marking his 10th appearance for the national team.

However, he picked up a knock during the game, prompting concerns from manager Thomas Tuchel, who described the issue as "a bit worrying".

Following the match, Gordon underwent a medical examination on Saturday. After further evaluation, it was decided that he would return to his club for additional assessment and recovery.

"Anthony Gordon has withdrawn from Three Lions camp having sustained an injury during Friday night's 2-0 win over Albania. The forward has returned to Newcastle United for further assessment," the FA stated. 

England will now have to proceed without him as they continue their qualifying campaign for the 2026 World Cup.
