Phil Foden to miss England games due to Covid-19 and UEFA say's sorry
Phil Foden will not be fit to play England's Nations League games with Hungary and Germany after testing positive for Covid-19
Manchester City's Phil Foden is Covid positiveThe Manchester City star was taken home from the Three Lions, but boss Gareth Southgate reassured his return for the games against Italy and Hungary at Molineux. Southgate stated, "Phil Foden has tested positive for Covid so he has had to leave. Hopefully, he will be able to meet up when we come back from Germany. It depends on his symptoms and how his breathing is. It affects everyone differently."
Southgate additionally informed about defenders Fikayo Tomori and Marc Guehi's injuries which would cause them to miss their match against Hungary. In the meantime, Raheem Sterling has skipped some training sessions, which might render him unfit to play. The coach added, "Fikayo and Marc Guehi arrived with injuries but progressed well. They won't be involved in tomorrow's game but might be OK for Germany.
The city is playing at the Puskas Arena, where they experienced brutal racism the last time they played. It will take place behind doors even though 30,000 people will be present.
UEFA' sincerely apologise' to Liverpool and Real Madrid fans
UEFA has extended their apologies to the fans affected by the problematic events at Saturday's Champions League final between Liverpool and Real Madrid. Fans were crushed and tear-gassed outside the Stade de France in Paris before the match ended in a 1-0 win for Carlos Ancelotti's side. UEFA's statement read, "UEFA wishes to sincerely apologise to all spectators who had to experience or witness frightening and distressing events in the build-up to the UEFA Champions League final at the Stade de France on 28 May 2022 in Paris, on a night which should have been a celebration of European club football. No football fan should be put in that situation, and it must not happen again."
UEFA will try to minimise or prevent further damage through the Independent Review, which examines the entire course of the events. An online questionnaire for the same matter is also to be announced so that relevant parties can post their testimonies online. The results are to be posted on www.uefa.com to maintain transparency.
