- Wilson featured twice in Qatar as substitute
- Missing from training due to minor strain
- Absence described as "precaution" by England
WHAT HAPPENED? Wilson joined Raheem Sterling - who was forced to return to England following an armed break-in at his family home - in sitting out the session in Al Wakrah, as Gareth Southgate's side begin preparations for their blockbuster quarter-final matchup against France on Saturday.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Despite playing back-up to Three Lions captain Harry Kane - who became England's all-time leading scorer at major tournaments with his first in Qatar against Senegal on Sunday - Wilson has amassed 46 minutes of World Cup football and even registered an assist against Iran. His absence will be a worry for Southgate should Kane experience any injury troubles himself.
