Harry Kane has been released from the England squad ahead of Tuesday's game against Spain.
Interim manager Gareth Southgate confirmed that the decision had been made based on the fact that Kane only recently returned from a long-term ankle injury.

"Harry reported for us last week but obviously he hadn't played a full game for some seven weeks," Southgate told FATV at the squad's base in Hertfordshire.
"Tottenham were more than happy for him to come with us. It was never really my intention to start him in a game and I think it's important that he gets a different training program to what we're going to follow over the next couple of days.
"I'm really grateful to Tottenham for letting us have him for the qualifier. Once we'd assessed our injury status and the fact we were fine and covered for what we'd do for this game, the sessions that we're going to do aren't what Harry needs at this time, having had such a long lay-off."
