Ezri Konsa has not travelled for England ’s final World Cup qualifier in Albania due to a calf injury, head coach Thomas Tuchel has confirmed.

Konsa played the full 90 minutes in Thursday’s 2-0 win over Serbia at Wembley but felt “tightness” in his calf after the match, so he has remained in London rather than joining the squad on their flight to Tirana.

The centre-back will now return to Aston Villa, days after Marc Guehi dropped out of the squad after failing to recover from the bruised ankle which has ruled him out of Crystal Palace’s last game.

“I will not tell you who starts,” Tuchel said of team selection in Tirana. “I also don’t know fully who starts. We haven’t decided yet, and we will have some discussions later and take decisions [on Sunday] morning.
