Manuel Neuer and Leon Goretzka OUT of Germany Nations League clash against England with Covid | The Sun

MANUEL NEUER and Leon Goretzka are OUT of Germany's Nations League against England with Covid.

Gareth Southgate's Three Lions host their arch rivals at Wembley on Monday.


But Germany have suffered a squad setback following the news of Goretzka, 27, and Neuer's absence.

The Bayern Munich duo will also miss Friday's match at home to Hungary as a result.

Hoffenheim's Oliver Baumann, 32, will replace keeper Neuer, 36, and further call-ups will be announced in due course.

England have also been hit by injury woe after Manchester City midfielder Kalvin Phillips was forced to pull out due to a shoulder problem.

Henderson missed the last three games in all competitions for the Reds after struggling with a hamstring problem.

His setback initially saw him fail to be named in the latest 28-man squad.

But after Phillips, 26, was withdrawn, Southgate has turned to ex-Sunderland anchorman Henderson.
