There has been an injury in the England Camp! 

The news may shock you, but it may not be who you expected.

The players had a day off from training and Southgate suffered the injury near the squad's World Cup base in Repino. We saw pictures of Jesse Lingard, Jordan Pickford and Harry Maguire racing inflatable unicorns at the team hotel, Jamie Vardy went out to spend time with wife Rebekah and kids. Many other members of the team took their first day off since they touched down in Russia sightseeing and shopping in Repino. 










"The doc has made it clear punching the air is not an option," Southgate told the media, referencing Harry Kane's injury time winner against Tunisia on Monday. "I might not be celebrating any goals as athletically in future," he added.
Manager Southgate, who is wearing a now sling, was treated at a nearby hospital to the hotel with the assistance of team doctor Rob Chakraverty.
England next face Panama in their second Group G game of Russia 2018 at 13:00 BST on Sunday in Nizhny Novgorod, aiming for a big win to try and bolster their goal difference following Belgium's 3-0 win on the same day. Southgate added. "It is better this is me than one of the players,". "We have got such a great support team and they were there very quickly. I had brilliant help from them, and I am just sorry I managed to ruin their day off", joked Southgate, who has been praised for his tendency to allow his players more leniency and their close relationship with the public and media

England U21 vs Austria U21 Review

England U21s 5-1 Austria U21 European Championships 2020 Stadium MK Thursday 15 th October 2019 Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah, who is on loan at Leeds United, claimed tonight’s match ball as England U21s smashed Austria 5-1 to go top of the qualification group. England started positively, with Burnley winger Dwight McNeil winning an early corner for the Young Lions, which ultimately ended in nothing. England continued to threaten the Austrian defence, as Nketiah chips the ball into an open net, only for it to be disallowed for a clear offside. Dwight McNeil, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Phil Foden combined for another early chance, but the Man City midfielder drove the ball wide of Fabain Ehmann’s net. Nketiah was caught offside again, this time chipping his shot wide, but England fans were hopeful that their attacking threat would eventually amount to something. Lukas Malicsek threatened with Austria’s first real chance of the game in the tenth minute...

Arsenal vs Cardiff Preview - Game 4

Image
Cardiff vs Arsenal Preview Cardiff City play hosts to Arsenal in Sunday’s early kick off in Wales, with the Gunners wanting to build momentum following last weekend’s victory against West Ham, being the first competitive win in the Emery era.  Defeats against Man City and then Chelsea were arguably expected for the Gunners, and the losses for the North London side were not at all embarrassing. A 2-goal comeback against Chelsea was encouraging, and a late goal certainly hurt the Gunners.  The 3-1 victory against West Ham was not a vintage performance but a win nonetheless, despite some understandable West Ham grievances, the 3 points were crucial for Arsenal and Emery.  Arsenal will come into the game with confidence, yet back to back victories for Cardiff show signs of promise for the Bluebirds.  The worry for the Welsh side is that they haven’t scored a goal, yet this season and Warnock and his side will certainly hope that comes against t...
