England coach Gareth Southgate says they decided against playing Manchester United fullback Luke Shaw this past week.
Shaw joined the squad after suffering a concussion last week after defeat to Manchester City.
Southgate has revealed the international clashes against San Marino and Albania came too soon after he suffered a clash with Joao Cancelo last Saturday.
He told reporters on Sunday: "With Mason [Mount] and Luke we ran out of time really, on getting them in with their rehab from the concussion and the operation [Mason Mount's dental surgery."
Shaw is now back with the United squad at Carrington.
