England wrote on Twitter : "25 players are out at training this morning as the Three Lions get ready for Italy, with Phil Foden sitting out due to a minor knock."

Manager Gareth Southgate has no shortage of options on the right side of England's attack where Foden usually plays, with several players competing for the spot including Bukayo Saka and Jadon Sancho.

England takes on Roberto Mancini's Italy at Wembley on Sunday, looking to win its first major trophy since the World Cup in 1966.
