Two Players Of Nigerian Descent Withdraw From England U21 Squad

Published: November 19, 2018

Everton winger Ademola Lookman will not add to his international caps on Tuesday evening when England U21s face off with Denmark in an international friendly at Esbjerg.

The Nigeria Football Federation target has returned to Everton to undergo treatment after sustaining an injury while on international duty.

Lookman was not named to the match day squad in England's 2-1 win against Italy last Thursday.

Tottenham Hotspur loanee Josh Onomah earlier withdrew from the squad due to a knee injury, according to the official website of the English FA.

The central midfielder was left out of Mauricio Pochettino's side's pre-season tour to the United States after picking up an injury prior to his loan move to Sheffield Wednesday.

Fikayo Tomori, Tammy Abraham and Dominic Solanke figured in England's victory against Italy in Ferrara, and could come up against Premier League player Philip Billing tomorrow.
