Jermaine Jenas has pulled out of England's squad to face Spain
on Wednesday in an international friendly.
The Tottenham midfielder missed his side's 4-0 defeat to Manchester
United on Sunday and it has now been decided he will not be fit to
take part in midweek.
Jenas has been struggling with an ankle injury sustained in Spurs'
3-0 Premiership defeat to Arsenal back in December and while he has
since returned, the complaint continues to cause him
problems.
The 23-year-old first returned, and scored, against Southend on
27th January but against Arsenal in midweek he suffered further
problems at Emirates Stadium.
A scan before kick-off against United revealed the extent of the
problem and a quick decision was made with regards his
availability.
Wayne Rooney is another doubt having been replaced by Sir Alex
Ferguson midway through the second half on Sunday having picked up
a knock.
The Manchester United striker will be checked over by club medics
on Monday morning before a decision is taken on his own
availability.
