The news will come as a bitter blow, not only to the player himself but also to Three Lions fans, who would have been hoping to see all of the country’s best-attacking talents on display later this month, once the delayed European Championships get underway.
However, with Greenwood set to miss out on a place in manager Gareth Southgate’s final 23-man squad, there will now be a place up for grabs.
Southgate is expected to name his final 23-man squad for this summer’s Euros at 4pm (UK time) on Tuesday.
The main talking point is likely to be whether or not Liverpool full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold is included or not, but make no mistake, regardless of your domestic alliance, should Alexander-Arnold miss out, like Greenwood now has, the Three Lions will likely be worse off.
