Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana has pulled out of the England squad to face Lithuania and Italy . The squad are due to meet at St George 's Park at lunchtime , but it is understood Lallana will not be among them . The midfielder 's groin injury flared up in the 2-1 defeat to Manchester United on Sunday and he will therefore miss the Euro 2016 qualifier against Lithuania on Friday and England 's friendly in Italy four days later . Adam Lallana ( right ) has withdrawn from the England squad after suffering a groin injury for Liverpool . Lallana was taken off at half-time and replaced by Steven Gerrard who was sent off after 38 seconds . England manager Roy Hodgson will be hoping to make it five wins from five in Euro 2016 qualifying . Lallana came off at half-time during the loss to Louis van Gaal 's side . The player is understood to believe the injury is not too serious . The rest of the now 23-man England party is due to meet in Burton on Monday afternoon and will be assessed to see whether there will be any more withdrawals . England will be looking to make it five qualifying wins from five on Friday night before they head to Turin for a friendly against the nation that beat them in their World Cup opener last summer . It is understood Friday 's match against Lithuania at Wembley is a 90,000 sell-out .
