England winger Jadon Sancho and forward Tammy Abraham will return for Sunday’s Nations League game against Belgium after missing the friendly against Wales due to a violation of Covid-19 regulations, coach Gareth Southgate said on Saturday. .
Sancho and left-back Ben Chilwell attended a party for Abraham’s 23rd birthday in London last Saturday night and missed Thursday’s friendly 3-0 over Wales for violating health protocols.
Abraham’s party was reportedly organized as a surprise, but the event broke the ‘rule of six’, which is one of the British government guidelines prohibiting people in England from mixing in groups of more than six to limit the spread of the coronavirus.
Southgate confirmed that Sancho and Abraham returned to training, but Chilwell is unwell before the game at Wembley.
“They’re back with the group and we’re moving on,” Southgate said.
‘Tammy and Jadon trained on Saturday and everyone is available. They’ve missed a bit of training so that’s a bit worrisome, but it’s done.
“Ben will be tested on Saturday and we will have to wait for the results on Sunday and then we can make a decision from there.”
Southgate praised forward Marcus Rashford after the 22-year-old received an MBE in Queen Elizabeth’s birthday honors for his successful campaign that ensured free school meals were extended during England’s summer holidays during the pandemic.
We are all very proud of him. We gave him special applause this morning, ” said the 50-year-old.
“ You can only marvel at what he has accomplished and the difference he has made for children who will understand the difference he has made, but also who, for the moment, will not understand him, but will be incredibly grateful to him for years to come. ‘.
England, second in Group 2 of League A of the Nations League, will also play Denmark on Wednesday.
