Gabriel Agbonlahor and Micah Richards have been forced to withdraw from the England Under-21 squad.

Both players were carrying hamstring injuries when they met up with the squad and will return to their respective clubs as a precautionary measure.

No replacements will be called up ahead of the Norway fixture and a squad of 17 players will now travel to Sandefjord later today.

Stuart Pearce's side will then fly home to take on France at the City Ground on Tuesday.

Out: Theo Walcott (injured), Steven Taylor (injured), Aaron Lennon (with Senior squad), Ryan Shawcross (injured), Sylvan Ebanks-Blake (injured), Micah Richards (injured), Gabriel Agbonlahor (injured)
