Chelsea captain Reece James was withdrawn from the England squad due to a leg injury sustained in a Premier League game against Liverpool. The injury, a nasty gash likely caused by a stud from an opposition player, led to his precautionary removal from the squad.
Enzo Maresca has been managing James since joining Leicester City this season. Manchester City's Nico has been called up as his replacement.
James' absence is crucial as England faces Wales and Latvia in World Cup qualifiers. Fans hope for his swift recovery as he aims to regain full fitness.
