Delph out of Pearce's plans

02 September 2009 15:45
England Under 21s will be without Aston Villa midfielder Fabian Delph for the forthcoming meetings with Macedonia and Greece due to a minor injury. The former Leeds star has pulled out of Stuart Pearce's squad for the double header, but the injury is not considered serious. Delph, though, will not be risked for the trip to Prilep on Friday followed by the journey to Tripoli four days later. Stuart Pearce's side will hope to make a bright start to their European Championship qualifying campaign. Micah Richards, Ryan Bertrand and James Vaughan have also withdrawn, with Jack Cork receiving a call up.
