Wilfried Zaha to miss England Under-21 match

Manchester United winger Wilfried Zaha will miss England Under-21s' European Championship qualifier match against Wales with an injury.

Wilfried Zaha has been ruled out of England Under-21s' European Championship qualifier with an injury.

The Manchester United winger has been training with the squad this week, but Gareth Southgate has decided that he will not risk the 21-year-old in the match against Wales on Monday evening.

The manager told Sky Sports News: "Wilf has been carrying something and we decided that it was probably best not to aggravate it.

"We would have only had four days with him, whereas with the others we get two weeks, which is a great extended period to work with them.

"He would have only been available for the one game anyway, so over the five games we've got Nathan Redmond who's been playing really well and Tom Ince, who were the two wingers who started the last game."

The squad is also due to take part in a tournament in France, but Zaha would not have been available because of age restrictions.
