“Tomorrow (Saturday), we will not have Henderson, Kane and Palmer. I would say that Cole (Palmer) and Jordan (Henderson) still have a chance to face Belgium (in the second friendly, Tuesday). Harry (Kane) is still a big doubt,” said Southgate.
Gareth’s idea is to use the matches on this FIFA Date to prepare for the Euros, in the middle of this year. “It’s a great opportunity for some players, we have to see other players thinking about the Euros. From our perspective, it’s a great exercise, a good opportunity,” completed.
