O'Reilly Returns to Man City After England Injury
England said the 19-year-old defender will miss two Nations League matches and return to Manchester City for further assessment.
- On Thursday, Manchester City defender Nico O'Reilly departed the England squad and returned to his club for "further assessment" after sustaining an injury. The Football Association confirmed he will play no further part in upcoming UEFA Nations League fixtures.
- After playing the full 90 minutes in England's 3-2 defeat by Spain, O'Reilly missed Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Czech Republic due to a training injury. He previously withdrew from Manchester City's lineup against Coventry in early September.
- The defender becomes the sixth player to withdraw from manager Thomas Tuchel's squad, following Cole Palmer, Declan Rice, Marcus Rashford, Kobbie Mainoo, and Tino Livramento. The Football Association confirmed no replacements will be added for the upcoming fixtures.
- Newcastle United defender Lewis Hall, who replaced O'Reilly against the Czechs, looks poised to start in his place. England faces Croatia on Saturday in Rijeka before returning to Wembley next Tuesday.
- Saturday's match in Rijeka will occur behind closed doors after UEFA ordered Croatia to serve a two-game punishment following crowd trouble during last year's Nations League quarter-final against France. This marks the second time England fans faced such travel restrictions.
