Gareth Southgate has lost Kieran Trippier for the Nations League tie against Denmark on Wednesday night as the full-back must attend a Football Association disciplinary hearing to answer charges relating to the breaking of betting rules – a situation that the England manager described as an unwanted distraction.
Trippier was charged with several alleged breaches during July of last year, which was the same month that he moved from Tottenham to Atlético Madrid for £20m. He has said that he did not place any bets himself or profit from bets made by other people.
