Marcus Rashford, Mason Mount and Nick Pope have withdrawn from the England squad for the Euro 2024 qualifiers against Italy and Ukraine, the Football Association said Monday.

Manchester United forward Rashford suffered a knock during the 3-1 win against Fulham in the FA Cup on Sunday.

Mount is recovering from a pelvic injury and the FA said Pope was hurt after Newcastle's 2-1 win against Nottingham Forest on Friday.

Tottenham goalkeeper Fraser Forster has been called up as a replacement for Pope, but no other players have been added to Gareth Southgate's squad.

England plays European champions Italy in Naples on Thursday and Ukraine at Wembley on Sunday in the Three Lions' first games since the World Cup.

The squad met at England's St. George’s Park training headquarters on Monday, with 23 players reporting for duty.

Erling Haaland was substituted with an ankle injury in the 60th minute of Manchester City's FA Cup quarterfinal match against Bournemouth on Sunday.
The Norway striker hurt his left ankle after Bournemouth right back Lewis Cook landed awkwardly on him in a 56th-minute tackle.
Haaland received treatment, came back on, but soon fell to the ground in pain and had to be substituted, The Associated Press reported.
Man City manager Pep Guardiola was unsure about the severity of Haaland's injury, saying: “I don’t know yet, we’ll have to see.”
The score was 1-1 when Haaland went off, having scored City's equalizer after having a penalty saved in the first half.
City went on to win 2-1 and advance to the semifinals for a seventh straight season.
