Nathaniel Chalobah, Kieran Trippier, Jake Livermore and Phil Jones missed England training on Tuesday afternoon with minor injuries.

Gareth Southgate's Three Lions travel to Malta this week for a World Cup qualifier, before hosting Slovakia at Wembley on Monday.

Uncapped Chalobah joined Trippier, Livermore and Jones in sitting out Tuesday's session at St George's Park as a precaution due to minor injuries, but the quartet are expected to be fit for Friday's match.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Raheem Sterling trained amid speculation linking them with moves before the transfer deadline on Thursday evening.

Standard Sport understands Oxlade-Chamberlain is expected to join Chelsea in a deal worth £35 million amid interest from Liverpool, while Sterling is of interest to Arsenal as Manchester City circle Alexis Sanchez.

Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford was absent having pulled out of the squad earlier in the day through injury, leading Newcastle's Freddie Woodman - part of the victorious Under-20 World Cup side - to take part in training.
