Kelly Withdrawn From England Squad

Martin Kelly has been withdrawn from the England U21 squad after suffering a sprained ankle during Sunday's 1-0 victory at Chelsea.

The right-back was set to feature as right back for Stuart Pearce's side in their friendly with Italy on Tuesday, but will now remain in Liverpool.

Our Head of Sports Medicine and Sports Science, Dr Peter Brukner has said: "Martin suffered a sprained ankle during yesterday's game. He was treated at half time and able to continue but it was very sore after the game".

In my opinion I think it is fantastic that Kelly, who is a fantastic young talent, seems to be regarded as England's best young right back.
