England duo to miss qualifiers

Jude Bellingham and Lewis Dunk have been ruled out of England’s Euro 2024 qualifiers against Malta and North Macedonia.

Real Madrid-bound Bellingham is still suffering with the hamstring injury that ruled him out of Borussia Dortmund’s heart-breaking season finale, when they let slip the Bundesliga title by drawing 2-2 at home to Mainz.

The midfielder will report to St George’s Park to receive further treatment, but will play not part in either match.

Dunk has withdrawn from the squad through injury and will not travel to the national football centre.

England travel to Ta’ Qali to play Malta on Friday before hosting North Macedonia at Old Trafford on Monday.
