Gareth Southgate admits Italy fixture being played behind closed doors is 'embarrassing' for the whole country
Gareth Southgate says it’s an ’embarrassment’ for the whole country that England’s clash with Italy has to be played behind closed doors at Molineux on Saturday.
After opening their Nations League campaign with a shock 1-0 loss in Hungary and a hard-fought 1-1 draw in Germany, Southgate’s side will play a repeat of that final at Wembley.The Football Association is having to host the match behind closed doors as part of UEFA’s punishment for issues that marred the Euro 2020 final, with a number of ticketless supporters forcing their way into Wembley 11 months ago.
“A lot of the people who caused the problems I am not certain were football fans but we have spoken enough about it.
Full-back James Justin is back in contention after a knock kept him out of the Germany match, which Kalvin Phillips limped out of early after being hurt in a collision.
