The English Squad news: Quansah excluded
Jarell Quansah will sit out England's FIFA World Cup qualifier against the Latvian side due to injury and the defender – who did not play in the national team's three-nil exhibition win over Wales at Wembley – will return to his team Bayer Leverkusen.
He has been a mainstay in the team's defence this season but England said no additional squad replacements were arranged for the qualification match in Riga on this Tuesday.
The English side could earn a place for next year's FIFA World Cup with two matches to spare if they defeat their opponents on this Tuesday and results elsewhere in Group K go their way.

Introduction
This is do or die for Ireland, though their opportunities of reaching the World Cup may already seem over. A well-known face in the Portuguese star greets them, and the Portuguese squad are top of their group. At the venue, the Irish side confront a enormous task.
Another key match will be reigning European champions the Spanish national team, who have triumphed in all their matches so far in their group, against the Georgian team, who have not yet qualified for a major tournament and are aiming for the qualifying playoffs. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has been a doubt and the Premier League club fans will get a chance to see Giorgi Mamardashvili.
