The England national team will line up with many absentees in the OAKA as several first-class names withdrew their participation from the match against Greece due to injury problems, with Harry Kane however leaving spikes for their attitude.
After losing 2-1 to Greece at Wembley, England now have their backs against the wall and need only a win on Thursday night at OAKA (14/11, 21:45, Novasports Prime, ALPHA, LIVE MATCHCENTER SPORT24) to steal the lead in the 2nd group of League B of the Nations League from the blue and white, but with its mission being extremely difficult.
Not only because she will face Ivan Jovanovic’s team, which counts four victories in the same number of first matches, but also because the team of -official- Lee Carsley, traveled to Greece with too many absentees.
Specifically, knockouts due to injuries were put Aaron Ramsdale, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Levi Colwill, Declan Rice, Bucayo Saka, Cole Palmer, Jack Grealish and Phil Foden while on Wednesday night, the eve of the big match, the 9th player of the “three lions”, Everton’s Jared Branthwaite, was left out.
However, all the above problems seem to have irritated Harry Kane, with the team captain and Bayern forward giving an interview to “ITV” and not hiding his disappointment, stressing that the national team is above any club.
“Gareth Southgate brought the joy back to the players to go and play for the England national team. Everyone was happy to come and play for the country’s representative group.
This is the most important thing, the national team is above any club. Southgate was not afraid to make decisions and walk away from certain players.
It’s a shame obviously that we had these departures. It’s a difficult time and I think maybe some people took a little advantage of that. To be honest I don’t like it” he stated among other things.
