The day before tomorrow's Euro 2024 qualifier match between England and Ukraine, which will start at 19:00 Kyiv time at London's Wembley Stadium, the head coach of our opponent Gareth Southgate spoke to the media.

"We have been training together for a week, and it would be quite difficult to call someone new in light of Reece James' injury and Luke Shaw's suspension for the match against Ukraine."

Ukrainians are proud of their country and the struggle they are currently waging. We saw this at the beginning of the war when they played against Scotland and Wales in the 2022 World Cup playoff matches. They have a worthy group of footballers, and they aim to give their fans positive emotions.

Of course, we sympathize with Ukraine, but tomorrow will be a football match on which we are focused one hundred percent," — Southgate stated.
