Worrying Lewis Hall update emerges from England after Newcastle United injury withdrawal
Newcastle United defender Lewis Hall is currently away with England.
Lewis Hall returned to the England squad this week after missing out on a spot at the 2026 World Cup.
The Newcastle United defender has enjoyed a strong start to the season under Matthias Jaissle, with two assists and a goal in the opening seven matches of the campaign.
But the Magpies’ squad has recently been ravaged by injuries with nine first-team players ruled out of Saturday’s 2-1 win over Hull City at St James’ Park. Hall scored what would prove to be the winner in that match before joining up with the England squad.

His Newcastle teammate Tino Livramento was also called-up to the squad but was forced to withdraw due to injury. His withdrawal was confirmed in an FA statement released earlier this week.
Now a fresh update from the England camp has emerged concerning Hall. The players have been training at St George’s Park in preparation for the upcoming Nations League matches against Spain, Czechia and Croatia.
But Hall was not part of the group, with an official update from England stating: “23 players are out training at St. George’s Park this afternoon. Lewis Hall sits out this session while the group are joined by U19s Kaden Braithwaite and Malachi Hardy.”

Lewis Hall to prove England point
No further explanation has been given for Hall’s lack of involvement in training at this stage, and he remains with the squad as he looks to prove a point upon his return.
When asked about proving a point, Hall said: “I little bit. I think you play enough games in a season anyway, where they can see how you play, what you're good at, what you can improve on, and see how you fit into the squad.
“It's always nice to go there and create a good impression. So, yes, I'll be looking to do that. But I'm just looking forward to meeting up with everyone again, because it's been a while.”
England are back in action against world champions Spain on Saturday. But Newcastle will have to wait until October 12 before they return to Premier League action at Coventry City.
