Rashford reveals why he dropped out of England squad

Manchester United's Marcus Rashford and Tottenham's Harry Winks have become the latest to drop out of the England national team. 

The pair were named in the squad preparing for UEFA Nations League matches set for September, but will now miss out. 

In their places, Jack Grealish has been given his first England call-up, bringing to a total of 24 players in camp. 

Congratulations, @JackGrealish 👏

Welcome to the #ThreeLions!

The Villains captain becomes the latest to join the camp, following the addition of Arsenal's Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Conor Coady.

Meanwhile, Rashford took to his twitter to reveal why he dropped out, citing a lack of enough time to prepare ahead of the new season. 

Gutted 😔 never want to let this team down but these fixtures just came a little too soon for me. I tried my best but I have to focus on starting the season at my strongest for club and country. Good luck boys, I’ll be cheering you on from home 🦁♥️ @England pic.twitter.com/2OMHKPFLpm
