Read our privacy policy James Ward-Prowse will not be part of England’s squad to face Poland in tonight’s World Cup Qualifying match at Wembley Stadium, with the FA saying the 26-year-old is being rested as a “fitness precaution”. Ward-Prowse started in the first of the Three Lions’ three qualifiers this month, scoring his first international goal as England thrashed San Marino 5-0 last Thursday. The Three Lions’ wins against San Marino and Albania mean they sit atop their qualifying group for next year’s Qatar World Cup – two points ahead of second-placed Poland, whom they take on this evening. Poland will be without injured Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski, who scored twice against Andorra in the Poles’ last outing – a 3-0 home victory – before limping off.
