Rose, 24, has yet to represent his country at full international level, but was called up by Roy Hodgson last week when fellow left-back Luke Shaw was ruled out.
However, an unspecified injury has ended Rose's hopes of making his England debut this month.
A brief statement from the FA on Wednesday read: "Tottenham Hotspur defender Danny Rose has withdrawn from the England squad through injury.
"The left-back will play no further part in preparation for the forthcoming fixtures against Lithuania and Italy and has returned to his club."
England host Lithuania in a Euro 2016 qualifier on Friday before travelling to Turin for a friendly against Italy next Tuesday.
