England welcomed a special guest to Rockliffe Hall over the weekend as they put in the groundwork for Germany, with Test captain Stokes imparting his wisdom to those going for Euro 2024 glory.“Ben Stokes came in yesterday which I thought was a brilliant session,” manager Southgate said on the eve of Monday’s warm-up friendly against Bosnia and Herzegovina.“He’s authentic, he talked brilliantly about getting the right balance of fearlessness but recognising that anybody’s going to have nerves.
“I just think he’s a hugely impressive guy that’s relatable to their age. And anybody who’s performed as well as he has for England… Southgate spoke to the younger players at the start of camp to help manage expectations, but the door remains open ahead of the friendlies against Bosnia and Iceland.June 2, 2024
“I’m not trying to pull the wool over anybody’s eyes or give people unrealistic expectations or dampen down expectations. Anthony Gordon is another absent from Monday’s match against Bosnia but the manager says he is also making progress, while Bukayo Saka and John Stones will sit out the friendly.The latter is part of a four-strong Manchester City contingent, but Kyle Walker and Phil Foden are still enjoying a break whereas Jack Grealish joined the defender in linking up early.
