Clyne to miss Scotland game due to injury
Liverpool defender Nathaniel Clyne has been ruled out of England’s World Cup qualifier against Scotland next month with a back injury.
England manager Gareth Southgate confirmed that the right-back would miss the game against Scotland on June 10 and a friendly with France three days later after withdrawing from the squad.
With Tottenham pair Kyle Walker and Kieran Trippier both included in the initial squad for the trips to Hampden Park and the Stade de France, the right-back position should not be an issue for Southgate.

Liverpool have reached an agreement to sign Solanke on a deal worth just shy of £20,000-a-week and a compensation fee will be decided by a tribunal, with the report estimating that fee will be between £2-3m.
