Tammy Abraham, Ben Chilwell and Jadon Sancho will miss England’s game against Wales on Thursday.

The news comes as the Football Association continues to investigate his attending a party on Saturday night, which broke the government’s coronavirus rules.

Sky Sports News reported that England coach Gareth Southgate is furious that the players have apparently violated the rules.

Sancho and Abraham have apologized and said they will learn from the mistake.

Abraham’s friends and family threw a surprise party to celebrate his 23rd birthday at his London flat, with Chilwell and Sancho also there.

Around 20 people were inside the apartment, in clear violation of the national ‘rule of six’.

The FA told all three to stay away from St George’s Park on Monday, while other England players signed up and underwent their regular coronavirus test.

The entire team will be tested again on Tuesday, two days before the Wales game, in accordance with UEFA protocols.

But there are no plans for Sancho, Chilwell and Abraham to be re-admitted to the squad by then, so having missed the mandatory tryouts, there is no way they can be included on Southgate’s squad to play for the All-British. friendly at Wembley.

Southgate warned the team about breaking the rules after Phil Foden and Mason Greenwood were sent home for leaving the eco-bubble to meet two Icelandic women in Reykjavik four weeks ago.

Southgate has yet to decide whether Sancho, Chilwell and Abraham will be able to return to England’s camp in time for the two competitive Nations League matches against Belgium and Denmark.

They could join the squad if FA officials arrange for them to be evaluated on Friday, two days before Belgium’s game at Wembley on Sunday.
