Now Welbeck has also left the training camp after scoring in the 4-0 European qualifier against Lithuania last night.

He picked up a knee injury during the game and has been sent to Arsenal for tests.

Sterling had already been told he could return to the Liverpool base due to an on-going toe condition.

Manchester City’s Milner and Everton man Baines have also been released.

“So those four players won't be with us going forward but it means a chance for the other guys in the squad to show what they can do,” said Hodgson.

“We are going to bring Ryan Bertrand in because with Leighton Baines gone we are now left with only one recognised left-back, which is Kieran Gibbs. We wanted two recognised left-backs for both games.”
