Manchester United youngster, Mason Greenwood, has officially withdrawn from England’s Euro 2020 Championship squad due to an ongoing injury problem.
The Premier League giant confirmed that the 19-year-old would miss the tournament which is slated to kick-off this month via a statement on its website on Tuesday.
The statement read: “Manchester United striker Mason Greenwood has withdrawn from the provisional England Euro 2020 squad, in order to recover fully from an underlying injury that also kept him out of the Under-21 European Championship in March,” a club statement read.
“Mason’s club appearances were managed carefully to maintain his availability through the intensive 2020/21 Premier League and Europa League schedules.
“But a further spell of tournament football would not be beneficial and Mason will remain at Manchester United to recuperate and prepare for pre-season training.”
Greenwood finished the just concluded 2020/21 season with 12 goals in 52 appearances as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side finished second on the Premier League table and runner-up in the Europa League after their defeat to first-time winner, Villareal.
