Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood has been withdrawn from England's provisional squad for the European Championship due to an underlying injury, the Premier League club announced Tuesday.

Greenwood was part of England's 33-man provisional squad named last month as manager Gareth Southgate played for time before whittling the numbers down.

Southgate is set to trim his squad down to 26 players later Tuesday.

United said Greenwood had pulled out to recover fully from the injury that also forced him out of the U-21 European Championship in March.

The June 11-July 11 Euro 2020 is being held across Europe, with semi-finals and the final at London's Wembley Stadium as well as some group stage games.

England play Austria in a friendly Wednesday and meet Romania Sunday, before their Euro 2020 Group D campaign starts with games against Croatia, Scotland and Czech Republic.
