Manchester United defender Aaron Wan-Bissaka has been forced to withdraw from the England squad for the 2020 Euro qualifiers due to a back injury.

Wan-Bissaka, who recently joined Manchester United from Crystal Palace, has been a key player for the Red Devils, featuring in all four of their games this season.

According to a statement by the English FA, Wan-Bissaka will return to Manchester United, but no replacement was announced for the defender.

England will face Bulgaria at Wembley on Saturday, September 7, before hosting Kosovo on Tuesday, September 10, in a Euro 2020 qualification double-header.

Wan-Bissaka has played every minute of United's four Premier League games so far this season.

"With Trent Alexander-Arnold and Kieran Trippier already included in Gareth Southgate’s now 24-man squad, no replacements are planned," a statement by the Three Lions said.
