England’s Euro 2024 Qualifier: Manchester City’s Treble Winners Available
Gareth Southgate, the manager of the English national team, has announced that all five of Manchester City’s treble-winning players are available for England’s Euro 2024 qualifier against Malta on Friday. Southgate said that all five players are fit to play, but he is yet to decide if that is a good decision.
Grealish in the Spotlight
Jack Grealish has received particular attention for his involvement in Manchester City’s treble-winning festivities. After celebrating their win over Inter Milan in Istanbul, the squad flew to Manchester then Ibiza for a party on Sunday night. They returned to Manchester for the club’s trophy parade on Monday, with another party booked that night.
Grealish and John Stones started the Champions League final while Phil Foden and Kyle Walker came off the bench and Nathan Phillips was an unused substitute.
Southgate’s Considerations
Southgate has said that all five players are fit to play, but he is taking into consideration the emotional high the players have been on since their win. He said that it is always complicated to make decisions in these situations, but the team has trained well and the focus has been excellent.
Southgate is also used to dealing with Champions League scenarios, as he had to make decisions when Tottenham played Liverpool in the 2019 final. He said that he knows his players inside out and his focus is on the team now.
