England hit by Tripper withdrawal
  • Trippier pulls out of squad
  • Youngster Lewis could be in for first senior start
  • England favourites to win 

Newcastle United’s Kieran Trippier has dropped out of the England squad ahead of Tuesday’s Euro 2024 qualifier in North Macedonia for personal reasons.

Remainder of squad train as normal as Trippier returns home

The remainder of Gareth Southgate’s 22-man squad all trained on Sunday ahead of the trip to Eastern Europe for the final match of their qualification campaign.

Trippier started and played 90 minutes of Friday’s 2-0 win over Malta at Wembley. Newcastle confirmed Trippier “has returned home” after leaving England manager Gareth Southgate’s squad.

Betting Implications

England have already qualified as Group C winners for Euro 2024.They have 19 points from seven games and are favourites to win against North Macedonia. At the time of writing bet365 have England priced at 1/6 with a draw 6/1 and the hosts 18/1.

England are currently short in the left-back position and although Trippier is predominantly a right-back he is often deployed on the left for Southgate’s side and was switched to the left at half-time against Malta when Kyle Walker was introduced from the bench at right-back. This may mean that Manchester City’s versatile defender/midfielder Rico Lewis may make his first senior start at left-back. Bettors need to assess the impact they think that Trippier’s absence will have on England’s chances.
