The 25-year-old north London star played in the majority of England’s 3-2 win over Germany at the Olympic Stadium last weekend and is expected to take a bench role in the Three Lions’ second game this Tuesday.

England take on Holland at Wembley Stadium but the ex-Manchester United striker is to sit out the majority of the game, with his recent return to full fitness a concern.

Due to the fact he is not quite up to scratch with the rest of his teammates in terms of match fitness, he practiced away from the likes of Jamie Vardy, Chris Smalling and co. ahead of the game, so he can be introduced if needed.

Welbeck will be expected to play a part in Arsenal’s home fixture in the Premier League this weekend against Watford, as the north London side bid to win the title for the first time in 12 seasons.
