Regardless, he retained his place in the English national team under manager Thomas Tuchel.
England have confirmed that Watkins has withdrawn from Tuchel’s squad as a precaution due to a ‘minor injury.’
The setback is disappointing for the striker, who has been eager to impress the coach while currently behind Harry Kane and Ivan Toney in the pecking order.
