Harvey Barnes to miss Euro 2020 for England: Leicester winger suffers injury setback

29 April 2021 10:54 (UTC +04:00)

Harvey Barnes has been ruled out of this summer's European Championships for England after the Leicester winger suffered a setback in his return from injury, APA reports citing SKY Sports.

Barnes required an operation for the knee problem he sustained in Leicester's 1-3 defeat to Arsenal in February, which initially ruled him out for at least six weeks, and there had been hope of him recovering for the rescheduled Euros.

However, boss Brendan Rodgers, who recently distanced himself from the vacant Tottenham job following Jose Mourinho's dismissal, has confirmed that Barnes will not be able to play for the Three Lions this summer.
