LONDON (AP) – Ollie Watkins has returned to Aston Villa after missing England’s game against Latvia on Tuesday due to injury, with captain Harry Kane set to return.<\/p>\n

Watkins scored England beat Wales 3-0<\/span> He collided with a goal post in Thursday’s friendly and was substituted at half-time.<\/p>\n

England said in a statement: “The Aston Villa striker has not recovered from the shock he sustained against Wales at Wembley on Thursday night and has returned to the club.”<\/p>\n

Watkins becomes the second player to leave the team after defender Jharel Quansah returned to Bayer Leverkusen, but the England side announced on Saturday that this was a precautionary measure after the game against Wales in which he was an unused substitute.<\/p>\n

With Watkins out, one of Thomas Tuchel’s options could be the return of Kane, who missed the game against Wales due to injury. painful knock<\/span> It happened the week before when I was playing for Bayern Munich.<\/p>\n

England will qualify for the World Cup with an away win against Latvia. With this win, Tuchel’s team will now have a seven-point lead over second-place Albania in Group K with two games remaining.<\/p>\n
