Manchester United's Chris Smalling: Withdraws from England duty

Smalling has withdrawn from England duty due to an injury, the Manchester Evening News reports.

Analysis:

Smalling is the second United centre-back to withdraw from international duty because of an injury, with Phil Jones also pulling out with a toe injury. The extent of Smalling's injury should become more clear once he has been evaluated back in Manchester. Eric Bailly and Marcos Rojo are the the only healthy centre-back options while Jones and Smalling are sidelined. Ben Gibson replaces Smalling on the England roster.
