Tariq Lamptey has withdrawn from the England Under-21 squad because of illness.
The Brighton full-back has returned home and will not feature in the Euro 2023 qualifiers against Andorra in Bournemouth on Friday or away to Albania on Tuesday.
No replacement has been called up by boss Lee Carlsey ahead of the Group G games.

Lamptey has been in fine form for Brighton this season, with 22 premier League appearances following a lengthy layoff last campaign.
Seagulls boss Graham Potter will be hoping Lamptey’s illness is not too serious and will be available after the international break.
Brighton are in desperate need of a win after losing their last six games. They will take on Norwich on April 2.
Meanwhile, England still have work to do if they are to reach Euro 2023, three points behind qualification group leaders Czech Republic with two games in hand ahead of Friday’s game against minnows Andorra.
Lee Carsley’s side will follow that up with a trip to third-placed Albania on Tuesday night.
