Wigan's Callum McManaman has been ruled out of England's squad for next month's Euro Under-21s in Israel with an ankle injury.

McManaman was taken off on a stretcher at Emirates Stadium following a second-half challenge by Gunners defender Laurent Koscielny
 
McManaman, 22, received his first Under-21 call-up on Tuesday, but misses the tournament after a week of mixed emotions.

Liverpool-born McManaman produced a man-of-the-match display as Wigan won the FA Cup for the first time in their history with a 1-0 win against favourites Manchester City last weekend.

Three days later, he was named in England's squad for the European Under-21 Championship, which takes place in Israel next month, after impressing coach Stuart Pearce with his recent form.

But later on Tuesday, he was part of the Wigan side which was beaten 4-1 against Arsenal to seal the club's relegation to the Championship after eight seasons in the top flight but will end their Premier League campaign with a home game against Aston Villa on Sunday.
