Rahim Sterling refused to call the England team because of problems with his back, the official website of the British FA.

The head coach of the "three lions" Gareth Southgate decided not to call a replacement for the 23-year-old winger.

Note that Sterling has completely played for Saturday's Manchester City Premier League match against Newcastle and scored a goal.

England will play against Spain on September 8, and the match with Switzerland will be held on September 11.
