England defenders Kyle Walker and Harry Maguire, and back-up goalkeeper Sam Johnstone, have been ruled out of Tuesday’s friendly with Belgium.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Burnley keeper James Trafford and Manchester City defender Rico Lewis, who were with the England Under-21s, have been promoted to the senior squad.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Trafford, 21, helped England win the Euro Under-21 last summer and this is his first senior call-up.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lewis, 19, made his Three Lions debut in November against North Macedonia.<\/span><\/p>\n

His City team-mate Walker was injured in the first half of <\/span>Saturday’s 1-0 friendly defeat by Brazil<\/span><\/a> at Wembley.<\/span><\/p>\n

Manchester United’s Maguire, who replaced Walker as captain when he was substituted, came off in the 67th minute.<\/span><\/p>\n

Maguire, Walker and Crystal Palace’s Johnstone, who did not feature on Saturday, have returned to their clubs. <\/span><\/p>\n

Bayern Munich <\/span>striker Harry Kane<\/span><\/a> and Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka have already been ruled out.<\/span><\/p>\n

The injury to Kane, undoubtedly England’s first-choice striker, gives a chance to Ollie Watkins and Ivan Toney to impress.<\/span><\/p>\n

Aston Villa’s Watkins played against Brazil, with Brentford forward Toney set to feature in the Belgium game. <\/span><\/p>\n

“It would be his first start, so you’ve got to bear that in mind as well,” said Southgate about Toney.<\/span><\/p>\n

“With England that’s the landscape, you don’t get hundreds of opportunities. I think every player recognises that’s the world we live in.<\/span><\/p>\n

“But he’s a confident guy, he comes in on the back of a good run of form with his club. He’s going to be on the field on Tuesday, no question.<\/span><\/p>\n

“That swagger, that self-belief is crucial – all of the top forward players have it. I think sometimes the quality of his football can be underestimated.<\/span><\/p>\n

“His passing, his link play. We’re still getting to know all of those strengths because until you work with a player more regularly you don’t know them inside out.”<\/span><\/p>\n
