John Flanagan has withdrawn from England's U19 squad for the forthcoming European Championship qualifiers.

The 18-year-old full-back, who made a solid impression in the Reds first-team during the final stages of the season, has returned home after picking up a calf injury.

Flanagan told Liverpoolfc.tv: "I'm obviously disappointed, particularly as I've not played for England before. But I won't let it overshadow what has been a very good season for me and I'll be raring to go when pre-season gets underway."

Liverpool still have six players in the Three Lions' squad for the elite qualifying matches against Montenegro, Spain and host nation Switzerland that will run from May 31- June 5.
