Nico O'Reilly misses England selection for upcoming internationals

Summary

Nico O'Reilly has not been included in the England squad for the UEFA Nations League matches against Croatia and Spain. The Manchester City left-back has struggled with form this season, hampered by a back injury suffered in September. City manager Enzo Maresca believes this break will benefit O'Reilly, allowing him time to recover and return to full fitness. O'Reilly played a strong match in City's recent 3-2 victory over RB Leipzig, indicating potential for improvement upon returning from international duty.
