The English Squad news: Jarell Quansah withdrawn
Jarell Quansah will sit out England's World Cup qualifying match against Latvia due to injury and the player – who did not take part in the national team's 3-0 friendly win over Wales at Wembley – will return to his team Bayer Leverkusen.
The former Liverpool defender has been a key player in Leverkusen's backline this season but England said no further squad replacements were scheduled for the qualification match in the Latvian capital on Tuesday.
The English side could qualify for next year's FIFA World Cup with two games to spare if they beat their opponents on Tuesday and results elsewhere in Group K go their in their favor.
Introduction
This is critical for the Irish team, though their opportunities of reaching North America may already be dead. A familiar figure in Cristiano Ronaldo awaits them, and Portugal are top of their group. At Sporting Club’s stadium, the Irish side face a massive task.
Another key match will be European champion Spain, who have won all their matches so far in their group, against Georgia, who have never earned a place for a finals and are hoping for the playoffs. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has been a doubt and Liverpool fans will get a opportunity to see Giorgi Mamardashvili.
