Fullback Danny Rose became the fifth player to withdraw from England's squad for the Euro 2016 qualifier with Lithuania and the friendly against Italy next Tuesday becuase of injury, the Football Association (FA) announced Wednesday.

The 24-year-old Spurs star -- a former stalwart of the England Under-21 side -- had only been called up after Manchester United's Luke Shaw withdrew on Saturday.

"Tottenham Hotspur's Danny Rose has withdrawn from the England camp through injury," said the FA in a statement.

"The left-back will play no further part in preparation for the forthcoming fixtures against Lithuania and Italy and has returned to his club."

Aside from Rose and Shaw, injury has deprived coach Roy Hodgson of goalkeeper Fraser Forster, whose season is over after undergoing knee surgery, and Liverpool duo Daniel Sturridge and Adam Lallana.

In the absence of both Shaw and Rose, Everton's Leighton Baines looks set to start at left-back in both matches, provided he does not sustain an injury against Lithuania at Wembley.

No one has been called up as a replacement for Rose, although Southampton's Ryan Bertrand has earned praise for his performances this season.
