Chelsea forward Fran Kirby has withdrawn from the England squad because of a "minor knee injury".

Kirby suffered the issue in the warm-up for the friendly win against Austria on Friday and was replaced by Ella Toone in the starting line-up.

England said the 30-year-old will return to Chelsea for "further assessment" on the injury.

"At this stage, there are no plans to call a replacement into the senior squad," added a statement.

The Lionesses beat Austria 7-2 in Spain in their first game of 2024 and manager Sarina Wiegman's side will play Italy in another friendly on Tuesday.
