The Football Association (FA) has announced that Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood has withdrawn from England's squad for the Euro Under-21 Championship due to injury.
Greenwood has been replaced by Norwich City midfielder Todd Cantwell in Aidy Boothroyd's 23-man squad.
In the FA Cup quarter-finals on Sunday, the injured Manchester United star scored in United's 3-1 defeat by Leicester City.
Since the beginning of the last season, 19-year-old Greenwood has scored 22 goals.
According to Opta statistics, the number of goals he netted is the most by a teenager in any of Europe's top five leagues.
Before facing Portugal on March 28 and Croatia on March 31 in the group stage, England will take on Switzerland on Thursday.
Hungary and Slovenia will co-host the knock-out rounds for the tournament in May and June.
