The English Football Association did not report what kind of injury Jones has suffered, but said coach Gareth Southgate has "no immediate plans to call up a replacement".

But, with Gary Cahill suspended for Sunday's game against Lithuania, the coach will assess his options following Wednesday's match, reports Efe.

England will face Germany on Wednesday in Dortmund, four days before hosting Lithuania at the Wembley Stadium here.

Southgate's options to replace Jones are Chris Smalling (Manchester United), John Stones (Manchester City) and Michael Keane (Burnley).
