Liverpool's Nathaniel Clyne is set to be the latest absentee when Gareth Southgate names his first England squad tonight.

Southgate will announce his party for the World Cup qualifiers with Malta and Slovenia and will be unable to call on Anfield's Adam Lallana after he sustained a groin injury in Saturday's 2-1 win over Swansea.

And Liverpool teammate Clyne is also now a doubt for the double header with a knee injury.

Clyne has been playing through the pain barrier and Southgate seems unlikely to pick up after consultation between England and Liverpool's medical departments.

Tottenham's Kyle Walker has established himself at right back, but Clyne has been impressive in Liverpool's eye catching start to the campaign.

Lallana scored the last gasp winner in Sam Allardyce's only game in charge against Slovakia last month and will be a miss.

Marcus Rashford will return to the senior set up after scoring a hat trick for Southgate's U21s against Norway.
