Watkins out of England squad to face Latvia

England striker Ollie Watkins will miss the World Cup qualifier in Latvia on Tuesday with injury.

The 29-year-old was replaced at half-time of the Three Lions' 3-0 win against Wales on Thursday.

Watkins scored his side's second goal at Wembley but collided with the post late in the first half after missing a chance.

England boss Thomas Tuchel said afterwards that the Aston Villa forward was "OK" but the injury was "very painful".

Newcastle winger Anthony Gordon moved to a central position in the second half in Watkins' absence and could do the same in Riga.

England would qualify for next summer's World Cup with two matches to spare by beating Latvia.

Captain Harry Kane missed the game against Wales, but Tuchel said after the win he was "convinced" the Bayern Munich striker would be available in Riga.
