Liverpool winger Jordon Ibe has been forced to pull out of the England Under-20s squad due to a knee injury.

The 19-year-old, who penned a new long-term contract with the Reds last week, aggravated the problem in Sunday’s 6-1 thrashing at Stoke City when he came off the bench with Liverpool already 5-0 down.

Ibe had been selected to take part in the Toulon Tournament in France which takes place from May 27 to June 7.

However, following his withdrawal, Derby County forward Kwame Thomas has replaced him in Aidy Boothroyd’s squad.

The Young Lions will compete in Group B of the annual competition alongside China, Ivory Coast, Mexico and Morocco, who they face in their first game on Thursday.

Ibe has provided one of the few positives for Liverpool during a bleak season at Anfield. After returning from a successful loan spell at Derby, he firmly established himself in Brendan Rodgers’ squad.
