Daniel Sturridge is set to miss England's upcoming double-header because of injury.
The Liverpool striker is again experiencing fitness worries ahead of the Three Lions' Euro2016 qualifier with Lithuania on the weekend and the friendly with Italy next week.
Sturridge last played for England in September and only returned to the Reds fold in late January but is yet again sidelined after undergoing scans on a hip injury.
"Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge has left the England squad and returned home to his club on Monday evening," read a FA statement.
"This follows a scan on an injury that he sustained during Liverpool's game against Manchester United on Sunday.
"The England medical team took the decision on Monday evening, having assessed Daniel following the squad's arrival at St. George's Park on Monday afternoon."
Sturridge joins Reds teammate Adam Lallana in the medical room after he was ruled out of the England fixtures with a groin injury.
