Danny Ings’ hopes of making England’s Euro 2020 squad in jeopardy as Ralph Hasenhuttl reveals Southampton star may not play again this season

https://ift.tt/3e5YSZ8

Danny Ings’ hopes of getting in the England squad for Euro 2020 have suffered a huge blow as Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl suggested the striker may not play again this season.

The 28-year-old was forced off with a hamstring issue during Saints’ 2-1 defeat at Tottenham last week in a match that also saw him claim his tenth Premier League goal of the season.

The 28-year-old has not returned to training and will definitely be absent for Friday evening’s game at home to Leicester, casting doubt over his availability for this summer’s finals, which are scheduled to begin in just six weeks.

“It is not that (much) worse than it looked at first but it’s also that serious that he misses now a few games, I don’t know if he comes back for the last games,” Hasenhuttl said of Ings.

“We have Liverpool (on May 8) and then five games in two weeks so we need every player.”

Ings scored on his most recent England appearance – a 3-0 win over Wales in October – but did not join up with his country last month because of a leg problem.

He faces stiff competition for national team selection, with Harry Kane, Raheem Sterling, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Marcus Rashford, Ollie Watkins, Jadon Sancho and Mason Greenwood among the other attacking options available to manager Gareth Southgate.

Ings’ latest injury setback sees him join Ryan Bertrand, Oriol Romeu and Will Smallbone in Saints’ treatment room.

With Bertrand’s current deal set to expire in the summer and Ings linked with the likes of Manchester City, Tottenham and West Ham, Hasenhuttl dismissed suggestions the pair were being left out for contractual reasons.

“It was definitely an injury and with Ryan Bertrand it is the same problem; he cannot train since two weeks because he has a calf problem,” said the Austrian.

“That’s it. What can I tell you?”

Is this the last time Ings has played for Southampton?

Liverpool 1-1 Leicester City: Reds fail to go seven points clear of Manchester City with lacklustre draw

Image
http://bit.ly/2GbpR4P Liverpool missed a golden opportunity to go seven points clear at the top of the Premier League after only managing a 1-1 draw at home to Leicester. Following Manchester City’s defeat at Newcastle last night, the Reds could have put themselves in a commanding position at the summit and got off to the perfect start when Sadio Mane gave Liverpool the lead after just two minutes. But the Reds were lacklustre and let Leicester back in it when Harry Maguire took advantage of some slack defending to equalise just before the break. It means Liverpool are now five points clear of Pep Guardiola’s men but it was not the result Jurgen Klopp’s men were looking for. MORE TO FOLLOW Let's block ads! (Why?)
