It first appeared that Walker had suffered some sort of muscle injury.

However, later reports claimed that Walker was actually taken ill.

It is not yet clear what is issue.

Allardyce will name his first squad as Three Lions boss on Sunday but may be forced to look at other options.

Walker pulled up after 28 minutes and was replaced soon after.
