Newcastle United goalkeeper Nick Pope has been replaced in the England squad by Tottenham Hotspur’s Fraser Forster due to injury.
Nick Pope was called up to the England squad by Gareth Southgate on Thursday along with fellow Premier League shot-stoppers, Jordan Pickford and Aaron Ramsdale.
However, Pope who has kept a remarkable 12 clean sheets this season, will stay back to undergo treatment on a minor injury.
According to The Athletic, Pope had undergone some treatment prior to Newcastle's 2-1 win at Nottingham Forest on Friday. Based on recent developments it would appear he is still struggling.

The 35-year-old has been playing in place of the injured Hugo Lloris since the start of February.
