Trippier Forced to Miss Final Euro 2024 Qualifier Against North Macedonia

Kieran Trippier, the star player from Newcastle, has been forced to withdraw from the England squad for the final Euro 2024 qualifier against North Macedonia. The 33-year-old defender played the entire 90 minutes in England's 2-0 win over Malta on Friday but will now miss Monday's match due to a personal matter.

Newcastle has confirmed the news of Trippier's withdrawal and stated that the player will be returning home. This unexpected development has presented a selection dilemma for England manager Gareth Southgate.

Selection Dilemma for Southgate

Trippier's withdrawal adds to the list of high-profile players who have pulled out of the squad recently. Southgate has already seen Jude Bellingham, Marcus Rashford, Levi Colwill, James Maddison, Lewis Dunk, and Callum Wilson withdraw in the build-up to the final qualifiers.
