Adam Lallana looks sets to become the latest player to withdraw from the England squad after suffering a groin injury and is likely to miss the international fixtures against Lithuania and Italy. The Liverpool star was replaced at half-time by Steve Gerrard - who then returned to the changing rooms just 38 seconds later - and his injury-hit season looks to continue with his latest problem. Lallana is seen as a key player for England and his loss will be a major blow for Roy Hodgson ahead of the Euro 2016 qualifier against Lithuania. Adam Lallana (right) has withdrawn from the England squad after suffering a groin injury for Liverpool. Lallana was taken off at half-time and replaced by Steven Gerrard who was sent off after 38 seconds. Fraser Forster and Luke Shaw had already withdrawn from the squad with Rob Green, Jack Butland and Danny Rose taking their place. It's unknown who Hodgson will call-up as a replacement or he may choose not if he feels his squad his strong enough to deal with Lallana's absence. England will be looking to keep up their 100 percent record in their European Championships Qualifying group when they welcome Lithuania to Wembley on Friday, with Harry Kane in line to earn his first cap for his country. The following game should be a more testing against Italy, who got the better of England at the World Cup, and Hodgson may use that game to blood some of his newer players. England manager Roy Hodgson could bring in a replacement or may choose to stick with his current squad.

Adam Lallana ser ut att bli den senaste spelaren att dra sig ur Englands trupp efter att ha drabbats av en ljumskskada och kommer sannolikt att missa de internationella fixturerna mot Litauen och Italien. Liverpoolstjärnan ersattes i halvtid av Steve Gerrard - som sedan återvände till omklädningsrummen bara 38 sekunder senare - och hans skadehitsäsong ser ut att fortsätta med sitt senaste problem. Lallana ses som en nyckelspelare för England och hans förlust blir ett stort slag för Roy Hodgson inför kvalet till Euro 2016 mot Litauen. Adam Lallana (till höger) har dragit sig ur Englandstruppen efter att ha drabbats av en ljumskskada för Liverpool. Lallana togs av vid halvtid och ersattes av Steven Gerrard som skickades iväg efter 38 sekunder. Fraser Forster och Luke Shaw hade redan dragit sig ur truppen med Rob Green, Jack Butland och Danny Rose som tog deras plats. Det är okänt vem Hodgson kommer att ringa upp som ersättare eller så väljer han kanske inte om han känner sin trupp sin starka nog att hantera Lallanas frånvaro. England kommer att försöka behålla sitt 100-procentiga rekord i sin EM-kvalificerande grupp när de välkomnar Litauen till Wembley på fredag, med Harry Kane i kö för att tjäna sin första mössa för sitt land. Följande match ska vara ett mer test mot Italien, som fick det bättre av England vid VM, och Hodgson får använda det spelet för att bloda upp några av sina nyare spelare. Englands manager Roy Hodgson kunde ta in en ersättare eller kanske välja att hålla sig till sin nuvarande trupp. Här är en sammanfattning av höjdpunkterna för denna artikel:
