Ryan Bertrand Out Of England's Friendly

 

Ryan Bertrand will miss England's friendly against Germany in Berlin on Saturday after returning to Southampton for treatment. The full-back picked up an injury in his side's 3-2 Premier League win over Liverpool last weekend and the England medical team have determined he will not be fit to face the world champions.

The Football Association said in a statement that manager Roy Hodgson would not calling up a replacement for Bertrand. Tottenham's Danny Rose is the only other recognised left-back in England's squad for the friendlies with Germany on Saturday and The Netherlands on Wednesday.

Fitness permitting, the 25-year-old appears to be a certainty to make his international debut in Berlin on Saturday night.
