Manchester United pair Michael Carrick and Danny Welbeck have withdrawn from the England squad for the friendlies against Chile and Germany.
Midfielder Carrick, 32, has an Achilles tendon problem, while 22-year-old striker Welbeck has a knee injury. England meet Chile on Friday and Germany on Tuesday, with both games at Wembley.
The Football Association said that manager Roy Hodgson will be adding no additional players to his squad of 26. Carrick carried his injury into United's 1-0 victory over Arsenal on Sunday but managed to complete the game, but Welbeck has not played since 19 October.
England's preparations for the two friendlies have been disrupted by the need to switch bases after a stomach bug alert at the site of the National Football Centre.
The senior side met up in Watford on Tuesday, rather than their usual home in Staffordshire, as a precautionary measure. No England players have experienced any virus symptoms.
