Manchester United duo Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho look almost certain to miss out on the England squad for the upcoming Nations League matches.
Gareth Southgate is due to announce his squad ahead of the Three Lions Nations League matches against Hungary, Germany and Italy next month.
Both Rashford and Sancho were part of the Euro 2020 squad that reached the final, but look very unlikely to regain their places in the squad after enduring miserable campaigns with the Red Devils, according to Sky Sports News.

Sportsmail, however, has revealed that West Ham forward Jarrod Bowen looks set to earn his first England call-up.
Bowen is on the England head coach’s radar after an outstanding season for David Moyes’s side, in which he scored 18 goals and provided 11 assists.
The 25-year-old was on course to be named in Southgate’s squad for March’s friendlies against Switzerland and Ivory Coast but injury ruled him out.

Elsewhere, there are selection dilemmas for Southgate at centre back with Marc Guehi (ankle) and Ben White (hamstring) carrying injuries.
Arsenal defender White is believed to be the bigger doubt of the two, with Crystal Palace still open to Guehi being called up.
AC Milan defender Fikayo Tomori, who has just won the Serie A title, could replace White or Guehi in the squad.
Southgate will select his strongest possible squad for the June matches despite concerns from various clubs about player burnout.

James Maddison, meanwhile, has made a great case to end his time in the international wilderness.
The 25-year-old midfielder has not been called into the squad since making his debut in November 2019 and has ended the campaign in superb form at Leicester, scoring 18 goals in all competitions.
Boss Southgate faces some tough selection choices with in-form players expected to be picked over more familiar names.
