Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge is a doubt for England's Euro 2016 qualifier against Lithuania at Wembley on Friday. The 25-year-old was being assessed by the club's medical staff on Monday after picking up a hip injury, sources have told ESPN FC.
Sturridge suffered the problem during Liverpool's 2-1 Premier League defeat at home to Manchester United on Sunday.
Sturridge did join up with the England squad after being assessed for a hip injury, but there was no indication whether he play in the qualifier.
His Liverpool teammate Adam Lallana also withdrew from the England squad, according to reports, after coming off at half-time on Sunday with a groin injury. He was replaced in the squad by Ryan Mason.
Sturridge has been beset by injury problems this season, and it is unlikely he will be risked if he is not fit.
The striker missed almost five months of the season with thigh and calf injuries before returning to action at the end of January. His first injury, a thigh problem, was sustained during an England training session on Sept. 5.
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers suggested at the time that Sturridge had been pushed too hard by England coach Roy Hodgson, who rejected that claim.
A month later, Sturridge's Liverpool teammate was left out of the starting line-up for a Euro 2016 qualifier in Estonia after telling Hodgson that he was feeling tired.
Rodgers rejected any suggestion that he had put pressure on Hodgson not to start Sterling. Both managers have insisted since then that relations between them are good, with Rodgers keen to avoid saying anything on the topic that could be interpreted as controversial.
With four Liverpool players named in the England squad to face Lithuania, Rodgers was asked at a news conference last Friday how discussions had gone in terms of their training regime while on international duty, and replied: "I'm sorry, I've got nothing for you on that."
