Nations League Southgate confirms injury for Man United star, gives updates on Rashford, others. Prior to the start of club football, England manager Gareth Southgate has revealed a serious injury blow to Manchester United. The England manager also made room for players like Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho to rejoin the team in time for the World Cup.
In the Nations League on Monday night, the Three Lions and Germany fought to an exciting 3-3 draw.
After the game, Southgate declared that previous team members Sancho, Rashford, and others are still in the running.
He said that the captain of Manchester United, Harry Maguire, suffered an injury in the last moments of the match against Germany. Maguire was held accountable for two of Germany’s goals.
At the press conference following the game, Southgate was asked about Rashford. He responded, “We would be silly not to have an open mind to players, especially those who have worked with us previously, who we know and know us, and who can slot in reasonably well.
“We’re keeping a close eye on those people in particular [who were on past squads].
But we must also be open to considering other candidates because we lack depth in some places. We must continue to assess if anyone can join our team and make it better.
The England manager said, “John Stones is feeling something with his hamstring and I think Harry is feeling something a little bit as well.
