‘We are all disconnected. We’re not interacting in the same way’
England unable to operate in a bubble like club squads

Gareth Southgate says all England’s preparations for Euro 2020 are currently having to be made on Zoom as he revealed the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the national team.

The head coach says that working under coronavirus restrictions – with England unable to operate in a bubble like club sides – leaves his staff facing an “incredible challenge” to get ready for a tournament in which they are expected to compete strongly this summer.
