Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins has been ruled out of England’s World Cup qualifier against Latvia.

Watkins suffered an injury during Thursday’s 3-0 win against Wales when he collided with the post as he attempted to score his second goal of the game.

He continued until half-time but was taken off and replaced by Marcus Rashford.

After the game, he said he was “OK” as he limped through the mixed zone, but he has not recovered in time for Tuesday’s game in Riga and has returned to Villa for treatment in a bid to be fit for Sunday’s Premier League game at Tottenham.
