England might have to play without Kieran Trippier in their Round of 16 match against Slovakia at Euro 2024.
The Newcastle United defender is now a doubt for the crucial game after missing training sessions on both Tuesday and Friday, according to Sky Sports News. Trippier has been dealing with a calf injury, though he started in each of England’s three group stage matches.
If Trippier is unable to recover in time for Sunday’s match, England manager Gareth Southgate may opt to use Ezri Konsa as a makeshift left-back. Alternatively, Liverpool’s versatile defender Joe Gomez could also fill the role.
