​Everton keeper Pickford ruled out of World Cup qualifier

Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford is ruled out of international duty with England for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers.

Pickford picked up a knock during his team's 2-1 loss to Burnley on Saturday.

The 27-year-old has a muscle problem that will keep him out of the Three Lions upcoming three World Cup qualifiers.

"Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford will miss England's trio of World Cup qualifying fixtures this month after sustaining an injury to his oblique abdominal muscle," Everton announced on their website.

Pickford will be absent for his country against San Marino, Albania and Poland later this month.
