After days of heavy criticism and with their place in the Euro 2024 knockout stages all but confirmed, England manager Gareth Southgate will be focused on performance against Slovenia on Tuesday.
To do that, he has told his players to shut out “the noise” which inevitably follows England in major tournaments, the more so when they are well fancied to win it, as they are in Germany this summer. On Monday, they received the boost of Luke Shaw joining team training after missing three days, but more important is getting one on the field.
'The route forward was pretty simple to highlight, then we’ve got to deliver it and I would expect we would do .” Shaw, England's scorer in the last European Championship final, has not played since February because of an ongoing hamstring problem and only made 15 appearances all season, all for Manchester United. The absence of their only left-footed left-back has unbalanced the team, with Phil Foden given licence to drift in from that side of the forward line.
