Anthony Gordon: Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon said that withdrawing from England's squad for the Nations League games against Greece and Ireland 'wasn't a possibility' despite his hip injury.

England will face Greece in Athens on Thursday, followed by a home game against Ireland at Wembley three days later. However, nine players, including Phil Foden, Bukayo Saka, Cole Palmer, and Trent Alexander-Arnold, have withdrawn from interim manager Lee Carsley's squad due to injuries.

England captain Harry Kane criticised the players who have withdrawn from the squad, saying that playing for the country comes before the club.
