Two Players Of Nigerian Descent Withdraw From England U21 Squad
Published: November 19, 2018Everton winger Ademola Lookman will not add to his international caps on Tuesday evening when England U21s face off with Denmark in an international friendly at Esbjerg.
The Nigeria Football Federation target has returned to Everton to undergo treatment after sustaining an injury while on international duty.
Lookman was not named to the match day squad in England's 2-1 win against Italy last Thursday.
Tottenham Hotspur loanee Josh Onomah earlier withdrew from the squad due to a knee injury, according to the official website of the English FA.
