Chelsea fullback Ben Chilwell's place in the England squad is under threat.

The Daily Mail says Chilwell limped out of the Three Lions' 2-0 defeat to Belgium after 38 minutes last weekend with a sore back.

He was subsequently named on England's bench for the 4-0 victory over Iceland on Wednesday night, with Bukayo Saka impressing at left wing-back.

And after returning to Chelsea training on Friday, he was named in Frank Lampard's starting XI for Saturday's lunchtime trip to Newcastle United.

Manager Gareth Southgate was 'disappointed' to see Chilwell, 23, leave the field against Belgium.

And there is a 'suspicion' among some in the England staff that the ex-Leicester star could have carried on.
