for gareth southgate and for england fans as well. waited nearly ten months to see their team in action once again, but their return to international football has been dominated by ill discipline. first, it was harry maguire found guilty of aggravated assult in mykonos. he does maintain his innocence and has lodged an appeal. and now, it's young stars phil foden and mason greenwood breaking strict coronavirus protocols in iceland. so, to take you back, the england team were in rekjavik for their nations league game against iceland, a match that both foden and greenwood made their england debuts in. butjust a few hours later, they broke quarantine rules by agreeing to meet two women at the team hotel. since then, as the rest of the squad flew to copenhagen for tonight's match against denmark, foden and greenwood have been sent home. now, up to this point, the pair had been flourishing at their respective clubs. they've both been earmarked to be part of england's plans for years to come, but right now they face an anxious wait on their

it's no wonder gareth southgate's called it a job like no other in terms of what you have to deal withootball reporter ian dennis. phil foden and mason greenwood have been left in the cold. they will not been left in the cold. they will not be here in copenhagen against denmark as a result of their actions. chris waddle is with me. was it like to be getting one youngster in the will that level of responsibility? it's a massive responsibility. you have a high—profile football is now. they have been silly. never have to get the trust back and it will take them a long time. they will be in the spotlight. they are very young and it is the start of their careers. they could have been here for 12 or 15 years and this will always be brought up now and they will have to really nail down. being an england footballer, there is a lot of pressure but you have to have discipline. you have to have the discipline. you have to have the discipline to say with some of the players over the years who have had these occasions and it is the start

said he'd be talking to manager gareth southgate about his international future, after he was sent off in their 1—0 win over iceland in the nations league. he was given a second yellow card for a reckless lunging tackle, which he admitted was rash and unacceptable. he'd been out of the side for over a year and with younger players coming into the frame, he knows this could be the end of his england career. southgate was clearly unhappy with walker, saying you just can't make challenges like that. we all have to learn from that moment any day came, that incident, because we have gone out of tune as before because we have been down to ten men, and that is not a situation that we have had in the four years i have been in charge, though the response to it from the rest of the tea m response to it from the rest of the team was good. but of course it booted is in a really difficult situation, and also we lose him now for the game on tuesday as well.

gareth southgate has called both players naive and says they've apologised for not following the guidelines around being in a covid—secure bubble. no other members of our party had beenin no other members of our party had been in contact with those two players and that is why they could not go to breakfast this morning. they could not join not go to breakfast this morning. they could notjoin us for training. so we are very clear that we are following all the guidelines in that regard. it's a very serious situation, and we have treated it that way and have acted as quickly as we have been able to. they have been naive. we've dealt with it appropriately. i think everything from there on, i recognise their age, but of course the whole world are dealing with this pandemic and there's responsibility on every age group to make sure that they play their part in keeping each other safe.

foden's absence means manager gareth southgate will be forced into changes for the game in copenhagen. the wolves captain conor coady and arsenal's ainsley maitland niles are expected to make their debuts in defence. one of the most decoated players in the women's game is back in the women's super league. lucy bronze has re—signed for manchester city from lyon on a free transfer. the england defender moved to france in 2017. she went on to win three successive champions league titles, along with a host of other honours. she's now 28, and her new coach, gareth taylor, says she an "unrivalled talent". tour de france race director christian prudhomme and members of staff from four teams have tested positive for coronavirus. no riders tested positive, so the tenth stage went ahead as planned. there were several crashes along the flat 105—mile route on the west coast of france. ireland's sam bennett won the stage to take the sprinters green jersey. slovenia's primoz roglic retained the overall leader's yellowjersey.

the england manager gareth southgate says harry maguire will be considered for england's next set of international fixtures next month. the manchester united captain was arrested after an altercation with greek police and handed a 21—month suspended prison sentence last month. he has appealed against greek court ruling and protested his innocence but he was dropped from the current squad for the matches against iceland tomorrow and denmark next week. it has been a difficult period for him and, the last few days, it has been important for him to be able to relax, get away from all the attention, get a rest, mentally get a rest because he had a short break anyway, but then the events that happened in greece dominated that. i think he needed that switch—off. he will be able to go back to his club, and absolutely we would be looking to involve him in october. four of the six nominees for the pfa player of the year award

gareth southgate's side will be lookng to shake off memories from four years ago. this will be the first time they'e faced iceland since their shock exit from euro 2016. the team has definitely improved over the last four years. those games are always in your mind. you a lwa ys games are always in your mind. you always think about what you could have done better. we have moved on well. we are in a great place in the squad. exciting team. we are excited to be back playing for england. it has been great to training here with the boys. everyone is looking forward to it. also in england's group — belgium and denmark, who face off later this evening.. 0ne of three big clashes tonight — you've also got portugal and croatia while france are in sweden. it seems scotland's nations league game against the czech republic will go ahead on monday — after confirmation from both nations and uefa — following a covid outbreak within the czech camp. lewis hamilton will start on pole position at the italian grand prix tomorrow. the six—time world champion was pushed all the way by hi

preparations in copenhagen are overshadowed as gareth southgate is left with decisions to make against denmark. one of the biggest names in women's football returns to the english top—flight. we hearfrom three—time european champion lucy bronze on her return to manchester city. england look for the whitewash in southend and as they face australia in their third southend and as they face australia in theirthird and southend and as they face australia in their third and final t20 test of the term. also coming up in the programme — it's been a testing day at the tour de france both on and off the road. and we hearfrom the chair of uk sport as the body pledges to eradicate bullying at the highest level. i would love the sea every athlete walk away thinking do you know why i might not have achieved everything i wa nted might not have achieved everything i wanted to do but it was a great time ihad.

come true to be called into gareth southgate's squad for the first time. the 18—year—old's been included for the nations league matches against iceland and denmark having impressed for manchester united — where having started the season as a youth player, he finished as a first team regular. you can be called any time and i was called to some year of league games earlier this season. i took my chance really, i'd just been playing and just took everything as a game. i've just been out there playing my football it's a dream come true. i've been playing for england it's on privileged and honoured to as well. i'm just happy to be... i'm just happy arsenal have announced the signing of centre back gabriel from french side lille, the player features in a quirky social media video released by the club alongside fellow brazilians david luiz and willian. the 22—year—old's signed a long term deal at the emirates after completing a £23

foden‘s absence means manager gareth southgate will be forced into changes for tonight‘s game againste and hagan. something he was already planning. we have tried things in training across the week with a long—term view on different possibilities for us as a team. whether it is the right thing to be able to win the game, we got to think that through, but it is no secret because everything in this camp seems to have got out, so we have tried three at the back earlier in the week, but you know, we will make a decision on that. and some news we have heard injust make a decision on that. and some news we have heard in just the last few minutes, it has been confirmed that england‘s lucy bronze has re—signed for manchester city from leon on a three transfer. she had moved to france back in 2017, winning three successive champions league titles, among a host of other honours. she has also been named in phil neville‘s england training squad today, which include seven

a difficult few weeks therefore gareth southgate with the harry mcguire situation and these two now and sally will be looking at this through the morning for us. i love a story about the lottery but is a mystery. someone has won, or have they won, £57 millionjack. has won, or have they won, £57 million jack. they came has won, or have they won, £57 millionjack. they came forward to claim the prize on march 17 in april so they left it for a bit of time and the ticket was purchased somewhere in ayrshire. if they get that jack what it would make them richer than world cup winning footballers such as paul pogba. but the operator has been unable to validate the tickets. someone has got a ticket but it is unable to be validated. i don't know what went wrong. there is speculation including that it could be damaged or have been lost. they have five days to sort it. this i don't know

has been a difficult few days for gareth southgate. they had a 0—0 draw in denmark last night.outhgate was without phil foden and mason greenwood for the game and copenhagen after they breached quarantine rules. it was a game of few scoring opportunities. the danes created marginally more chances, without success. england seldom threatened, and harry kane coming close to snatching a late winner. there was no breakthrough despite the introduction of jack grealish of aston villa, for his international debut. for him, good experience to be with us and see how we work, the intensity of the play, and i'm sure he will be energised going back to his club now and knows exactly what we are looking for from him, his club now and knows exactly what we are looking forfrom him, and he has enjoyed, he fits in well with the group, i have worked with him in the group, i have worked with him in the under 21s, he is a smile, which is great, and he brings energy. cristiano ronaldo made more history last night as he scored his 100th goalfor portugal. he got last night as he scored his 100th goal f

and he said he'd be speaking to manager gareth southgate about his international future. that was just about the most excitement we had until the 89th minute, when raheem sterling gave england the lead from the penalty spot. but, in injury time, iceland were awarded a penalty themselves, which birkir bjaranason blasted over the bar. i think if we'd scored the late penalty and that had been the end of it, we'd have been talking about a performance of great character and we got through. of course, we then gave a really pert penalty away. it feels like we've got out ofjail. the women's super league season returned with a 2—0 win forformer champions manchester city, against newly— promoted aston villa. england forward georgia stanway said she felt very sorry for villa's keeper, after defensive errors allowed her to score both city's goals. britain's adam yates will wear the leader's yellow jersey for a fourth day, after the first high mountain stage of the tour de france. he came under attack several times on stage eight in the pyrenees, but he finished in a group containing

in a news conference in the last hour, gareth southgate has confirmed both players broke the guidelines around being in a covid—secure bubble and they'll now have to travel back to england separately. they both made their senior international debuts in the 1—0 victiory in rejkjavic in the nations league at the weekend, but won't be involved against denmark tomorrow. southgate says he's still working his way through the facts before he decides any further action against both players. they have been naive. we have dealt with it appropriately. i think everything from there on, i recognise that age, but the whole world a re recognise that age, but the whole world are dealing with this pandemic and there is responsibility in every age group to make sure that they play their part in keeping a java safe. u nfortu nately for play their part in keeping a java safe. unfortunately for the two boys that are going to find themselves in this situation because of where we are across the globe with a pandemic, where they will be a lot ofjudgment of pandemic, where they will be a lot of judgment of them

against denmark finished goal—less in copenhagen, a disappointing end to a difficult few days for gareth southgateorts. the mind of england's manager has been somewhat preoccupied recently. with two of his best young players sent home for breaking quarantine rules, this was a chance to get back to the football — not that there was much to catch the eye in a first half where england looked vulnerable. as he once did for spurs, christian eriksen was pulling the strings for denmark, and they could have led at the break. so far, england's plan wasn't working, and they were made to wait until the 70th minute for their first proper chance. harry kane close, but not close enough. one by one, southgate turned to those he'd left out, with jack grealish is one of four england players making their debuts in copenhagen — a proud moment they couldn't mark with a victory, as england searched for a winner... commentator: harry kane can roll this in! ..that never came. despite numerous disciplinary issues in the build—up, england head home with four points from two games, all adding up to one eventful week for ga
