Southgate calls for goals
England manager Gareth Southgate has called on more of his attacking players to start scoring ahead of their Nations League clash with Germany tonight.
The Three Lions will look to bounce back in Munich after Saturday’s shock 1-0 defeat to Hungary.
Only Harry Kane (49) and Raheem Sterling (19) have more than 10 goals in an England shirt out of the current squad — with defender Harry Maguire the nearest challenger on seven.
Southgate said: “What is clear is that in terms of goals, we are heavily reliant on Raheem and Harry.
“There are opportunities for others to step into that fold, because the squad we have got with us, I think Harry Maguire is the next in terms of goals scored.
“We do need those attacking players in particular to step forward and start to give us threats from other areas.
“Bukayo Saka has started to do that and Mason Mount has got the odd goal, but that is the challenge now for this whole group.”
Salah strain
Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah will miss Egypt’s game against Ethiopa on Thursday after picking up a strain.
The 29-year-old played the full 90 minutes of the Pharoahs’ 1-0 win over Guinea on Sunday but has since undergone tests that reveal a minor problem.
He will now sit out their Africa Cup of Nations qualifier on Thursday to allow time to recover.
A statement from the Egyptian FA read: “The technical staff of the Egyptian national football team, led by manager Ehab Galal, have decided to rest Mohamed Salah for the Ethiopia match scheduled for June 9 after he underwent scans that proved the presence of a slight strain.”
