England duo Mason Mount and Ben Chilwell have been forced to self-isolate after coming into contact with Scotland midfielder Billy Gilmour.
The Football Association are in discussions with Public Health England about whether the pair can face the Czech Republic on Tuesday evening – which is LIVE on talkSPORT.
A statement from the Football Association read: “As a precaution at this time and in consultation with Public Health England, Ben Chilwell and Mason Mount are isolating after interaction with Scotland player Billy Gilmour at Friday’s match.
“The pair will be kept away from the rest of the England players and wider support team, pending further discussions with PHE. The entire squad had lateral flow tests on Monday afternoon and all were again negative, as was the case with Sunday’s UEFA pre-match PCR tests.
“We will continue to follow all COVID-19 protocols and the UEFA testing regime, while remaining in close contact with PHE.”
Mount had been due to appear at the pre-match press conference alongside England boss Southgate.
