England defender Nico O’Reilly has returned to Manchester City and will not feature in the remainder of the international camp due to injury.

O’Reilly played 90 minutes in last Saturday’s Nations League opener against Spain, making a mistake in the build-up to the visitors’ equalizer, but missed Tuesday’s win in the Czech Republic after picking up an issue in training.

The Football Association confirmed in a statement there will be no call-ups to the squad for the game in Rijeka or next Tuesday’s clash with the Czechs at Wembley.
