Bertrand’s injury may let in Rose

ENGLAND suffered a key injury blow last night when Southampton left back Ryan Bertrand quit the squad to face Holland and Italy. The defender — first choice for his country at the end of 2017 — did not train at St George’s Park and will return to his club. Southampton have a key Premier League match at fellow strugglers West Ham on March 31. Bertrand’s absence will allow fit-again Danny Rose or Ashley Young to stake a claim for the position. Meanwhile, Adam Lallana and Jack Wilshere had separate indoor training sessions but are expected to be available for the game against Holland in Amsterdam on Friday. Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold, who is in Aidy Boothroyd’s Under 21 squad, trained with the senior squad and Watford’s Nathaniel Chalobah, who has a long-term knee injury, was welcomed back into the fold by manager Gareth Southgate.
