In preparation for the match against Latvia that will take place on Monday, a player from England has decided to withdraw from the squad that Thomas Tuchel has assembled.
In Tuchel’s first game as England manager, which took place on Friday, England defeated Albania by a score of 2-0. The victory was provided by Myles Lewis-Skelly, who was making his debut, and Harry Kane, who was the captain of the team.
When the Three Lions take on Latvia on Monday, they will be hoping to make it two wins from two that they have achieved during the international break that occurs in March.
Anthony Gordon, a winger for Newcastle, gave the impression of suffering a hip injury in the final seconds of England’s victory over Albania. As a result, Gordon will not be participating in the World Cup qualifier.
In a statement released on Sunday, the Football Association (FA) announced that Anthony Gordon had withdrawn from Three Lions camp due to an injury he sustained during the 2-0 victory over Albania on Friday night.
It has been reported that the forward has returned to Newcastle United for additional evaluation.
Before making his way down the tunnel with a limp, Gordon approached the dugout and received medical attention from the England physiotherapists.
During the subsequent press conference, Tuchel, speaking about Gordon, stated, “He appears to be injured.” “First of all I thought it was his stomach but it’s his hip and it does not look good.”
In the final twenty minutes of the match against Albania, Gordon and Jarrod Bowen came in to replace Marcus Rashford and Phil Foden. Later on, Tuchel admitted that neither of his starting wingers played up to the required standard.
Tuchel responded to ITV’s question about whether Foden, who was reserved from the right side of the pitch, lacked confidence in his ability to play for England by saying, “We will encourage him to do what he does best, to go at defenders, to go into dribblings.”
On the other hand, neither of our two wingers who started had as much of an impact as they typically do in club football. I need to look over the game again because I’m not entirely sure why we had such a hard time getting the ball to them in a timely manner.
In terms of runs off the ball, we were lacking a little bit. To put it another way, there was an excessive amount of passing, not enough dribbling, not enough carrying the ball, and not enough driving with the ball.
“Not aggressive enough in the direction of the goal. They were quick and decisive in their training, and they trained very well.
In addition, I believe that they deserved to start because they had a very strong performance with their respective clubs over the past few weeks. We are going to continue to encourage them, and we are going to make sure that we create a structure that allows them to demonstrate their potential.
