Doha. Wayne Rooney believes Cristiano Ronaldo’s exit from Manchester United is inevitable.
Gareth Southgate has played down Harry Kane’s injury – now he’ll have an X-ray.
Here are the Wednesday morning snacks from the restroom.
Ronnie was not surprised
Wayne Rooney hardly fell off his chair in shock when he heard that Cristiano Ronaldo had broken his contract with Manchester United.
– Let’s see it end like this… Obviously as a former team-mate and as a Manchester United fan, it’s sad to see it end like this, Rooney told Visa Match Center Live.
– But I guess they had no other choice after everyone saw the interview with Piers Morgan and how he attacked the club. Am I surprised? number. But it’s sad because he was great for the club.
According to the Daily Mail, the Portuguese will lose out on £16m as the contract expires.
Southgate played down Kane’s injury
Harry Kane took a knock in the foot in the match against Iran, but seemed to be fine. At least Gareth Southgate seemed convinced of that.
– It looked like a bad tackle, but he managed to hold on, said the captain of the national team, who caught him a quarter of an hour before normal time.
We sent him off because we felt we could do it at that moment in the game.
Now the striker’s foot will be X-rayed ahead of Friday’s meeting with the United States. In Monday’s 6-2 win, he had 19 touchdowns, nine pass breakups, and two assists.
Families are excluded
Gareth Southgate is still afraid of Covid and has no desire to relax the strict rules around social contexts in England.
The English players’ wives and family members were present at the opening match against Iran and the players were seen hugging their children afterwards. But Southgate does not intend to risk anyone getting sick and is therefore questionable whether there will be any social activities.
– There is a balance between energy and fun in the group and not taking any medical risks, says the captain of the national team, adding that the national team must find this balance.
Number confusion
For England’s opening match against Iran, the crowd was said to be 45,334, despite the fact that, according to the tournament’s official website, the stadium received 40,000.
At the Lusauc Stadium, where Argentina fell to Saudi Arabia, capacity was said to be 80,012 while crowd numbers fell to 88,966.
Since the host country was informed of this, the numbers on the site have been updated. It is said that the reason for the confusion was that they weren’t quite sure how many people actually had a seat.
