Mason Greenwood will miss the Euro 2020 qualifiers due to injury, the club has confirmed.

The English International was included in Gareth Southgate’s 33-man provisional squad which will be reduced to 23 later on Tuesday ahead of the tournament.

The player is currently nursing an injury after playing 100 minutes in the Europa League final against Villarreal which the Red Devils lost.

The club released that rest will be beneficial to the 19-year old ahead of preseason for the upcoming league season.

“Manchester United striker Mason Greenwood has withdrawn from the provisional England Euro 2020 squad, in order to recover fully from an underlying injury that also kept him out of the Under-21 European Championship in March,” a club statement read.

“Mason's club appearances were managed carefully to maintain his availability through the intensive 2020/21 Premier League and Europa League schedules.

“But a further spell of tournament football would not be beneficial and Mason will remain at Manchester United to recuperate and prepare for pre-season training.”
