CHERRIES duo Sam Surridge and Lloyd Kelly have withdrawn the England Under-21 squad due to injury.
Surridge, who has netted five goals during a loan spell at Swansea this season, picked up a knee problem during his appearance against Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship on Saturday.
The injury is not thought to be serious, but the 21-year-old will undergo a precautionary scan in the coming days.
Taking to Twitter, Surridge said: "Gutted but I will be working hard to get back fully fit."
Kelly has also pulled out with Eddie Howe confirming to the Daily Echo that the defender has sustained a thigh problem.
Cherries do still one representative in the England under-21 squad in England goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale.
