Manchester United pair Michael Carrick and Danny
Welbeck have withdrawn from the England squad for
the friendlies against Chile and Germany.
Midfielder Carrick, 32, has an Achilles tendon problem, while
22-year-old striker Welbeck has a knee injury.
England meet Chile on Friday and Germany on Tuesday, with
both games at Wembley.
The Football Association said that manager Roy Hodgson will
be adding no additional players to his squad of 26.
Carrick, who has won 31 caps for England, carried his injury
into United's 1-0 victory over Arsenal on Sunday but managed
to complete the game.
Welbeck, who has scored eight goals in 20 appearances for his
country, has not played since 19 October.
England's preparations for the two friendlies have been
disrupted by the need to switch bases after a stomach bug
alert at the site of the National Football Centre.
The senior side met up in Watford on Tuesday, rather than their
usual home in Staffordshire, as a precautionary measure.
No England players have experienced any virus symptoms.
