Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has pulled out of the England squad for Wednesday’s friendly against the Netherlands in Amsterdam because of a groin strain.
The midfielder trained on Monday but felt a slight soreness in the leg and it was decided to pull him out of the squad as a precaution.
The remainder of Fabio Capello’s squad was able to make the trip to the Netherlands and they will have a training session at the Amsterdam Arena later Tuesday.
Goalkeeper Ben Foster has already been replaced by Joe Hart after hurting his knee in Manchester United’s Community Shield defeat to Chelsea on Sunday.
