England: Anthony Gordon withdraws from squad to face Latvia because of hip injury

Anthony Gordon has withdrawn from the England squad for Monday’s World Cup qualifier against Latvia.

The Newcastle winger sustained a hip injury after coming on during Friday’s 2-0 win over Albania at Wembley.

After the game, manager Thomas Tuchel described the injury as “a bit worrying” and Gordon had a scan on Saturday before returning to his club for further assessment.

The 24-year-old was a late substitute for Marcus Rashford against Albania, earning his 10th cap for the Three Lions in what was their opening qualifier for the 2026 World Cup.
