      Team news
      The big news from the Holland camp is that the Dutch will be without Virgil van Dijk, who pulled out of the squad to focus on getting fit for Liverpool next season.
      Ryan Jack and Kenny McLean would have been likely to start in midfield for Scotland but have both missed out on their Euro 2020 squad through injury.
      As a result, Chelsea’s Billy Gilmour and Celtic’s David Turnbull could be due for a runout.

      When is England’s first Euro 2020 game? Croatia at Wembley kicks off tournament for Three Lions

      by

      ENGLAND are ramping up their preparations for Euro 2020.And the 26 men who will be charged with leading the Three Lions to a trophy for the first time since 1966 are now known with the squad having been announced.

      But who will Gareth Southgate’s men be playing against? Here’s all you need to know.
      When is England’s first Euro 2020 game?
      England’s first Euro 2020 game will be against Croatia.
      It will be held on Sunday, June 13 with a 2pm kick-off at Wembley.
      The Three Lions will be out for revenge following their World Cup semi-final heartbreak against the Croats three years ago.
      On that day, a free kick from Kieran Trippier was not enough as Mario Mandzukic scored an extra time winner for Zlatko Dalic’s team.

      Who else will England play at Euro 2020?
      England have been drawn in a group containing Croatia, Scotland and the Czech Republic.
      Following their game against the Croats, England will take on the Scots in their second match at Wembley, just as they did in Euro 96.
      That game will be an 8pm kick-off on Friday, June 18.
      England’s third group game will be against the Czech Republic on Tuesday, June 22, also at 8pm.

      Will England play all their games at Wembley?
      Unlike Euro 96, England will not play all their games at Wembley, or even in England.
      This time around, there are eleven host cities with Wembley hosting both semi-finals and the final.
      But should England win their group and progress all the way to the final, they will play every game except one at the national stadium.
      Following the removal of Dublin as a host city, Wembley is scheduled to host the last 16 match between the winner of England’s group and the runner-up of Group F, containing Portugal, Germany, France and Hungary.
      In that scenario, England would have to play the quarter-final in Rome, but all other games would be on home turf. More

      Harry Maguire determined to inspire England to Euro 2020 glory after Man Utd captain’s Europa League injury agony

      by

      HARRY MAGUIRE rolled out of bed each morning hoping the pain in his ankle would have disappeared.The Manchester United skipper was praying he would make a miraculous recovery in time for the Europa League final against Villarreal a week ago.

      Instead, Maguire suffered heartbreak in the battle to return from ankle damage he sustained in a challenge with Aston Villa’s Anwar El Ghazi towards the end of United’s 3-1 Premier League win on May 9.
      Even though United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer refused to rule the defender out of the showpiece at his pre-match press conference in Gdansk, Maguire was unable to run and watched the final training session from the dugout.
      Then the match itself was even more frustrating for United as they lost 11-10 on penalties to the Spaniards.
      Speaking yesterday, Maguire, 28, was asked about his first thoughts as he sat on the turf waiting for medical attention at Villa Park.
      He said: “The fear that I had was missing everything.
      “I knew it was quite a bad injury. When I got the results of the scan, I knew it would be unlikely I would made the Europa League final — but we also never ruled it out.
      “I would jump out of bed and put weight on my ankle, which I probably should not have done, and test it to see if the pain was still there.

      “Every morning, I woke up wishing the pain would be gone.
      “Unfortunately, it was not to be. I knew for me to start the Europa League final was very unlikely but I hoped to play some part.
      “However it was out of reach and just not possible.
      “Ahead of the final, I could still not run on the ankle.
      “But it is now improving and getting better, so I am just looking forward to the Euros.”
      Maguire arrived at Old Trafford from Leicester in an £85million deal in 2019, making him the most expensive defender in  football history.
      At Villa Park, he was making his 72nd appearance in the top flight for United, having not missed a single MINUTE of Premier League action until injury struck.
      Harry Maguire will be a key player for Gareth Southgate at the Euros, fitness allowingCredit: PA
      The centre-back could not play United’s final four Premier League games, but it was his absence from the final against Villarreal where he was really missed.
      Former Arsenal boss Unai Emery’s side took the lead from a set-piece, with just the sort of cross you would expect Maguire to block.
      But England boss Gareth Southgate will very much still by relying on him this summer after he was named in the 26-man squad for the Euros yesterday.
      Maguire added: “I generally try to play through injuries.
      “I know it was not the impact of the challenge at Villa that caused it.
      “It was more of a twist, so when I did that, I knew it would be some sort of ligament damage.
      “And obviously it was really bad timing for myself.
      BETTING SPECIAL – GET ENGLAND TO WIN EURO 2020 AND HARRY KANE TO BE TOP SCORER AT 22/1

      “To play so many games on the spin and not get many injuries, but to then miss the Europa League final and the end of the season for Manchester United, was disappointing for the club and  myself.
      “I have not picked up many knocks.  You have freak tackles, people falling on you, you twist things, but I have avoided muscle injuries.
      “But I am looking forward to getting back as soon as possible.”

      Harry Maguire, along with his brother Laurence who plays for Chesterfield, surprised his old junior football team Brunsmeer yesterday as part of WOW HYDRATE’S grassroots campaign with Tesco, www.wowhydrate.com

      Poland 1-1 Russia LIVE RESULT: Karavaev cancels out Swierczok strike as Lewandowski looks on in Euro 2020 warm-up

      by

      POLAND and Russia have finished all square in a fascinating Euro 2020 warm-up match.Jakub Swierczok gave Poland the lead after just three minutes but Vyacheslav Karavaev forced in an equaliser for the Russians.
      But the Poles will know they have more firepower in reserve as Robert Lewandowski was confined to the bench for the whole game.
      THAT’S ALL FOR TONIGHT
      It was a good warm-up for both Poland and Russia, with neither side picking up any injuries.
      Lots of international friendlies to come over the coming week or so in the build-up to Euro 2020.
      We’re covering England vs Austria, Holland vs Scotland and Wales vs France here at SunSport so keep an eye out for that!
      Goodnight.
      POST-MATCH REACTION
      Oh so true.
      After a bright start, this Poland-Russia friendly has died a death. #POLRUS.— Derek Rae (@RaeComm) June 1, 2021

      FULL-TIME STATS
      A real snooze-fest.

      FT: POLAND 1-1 RUSSIA
      Well, what a boring second half of international football!
      The two goals came in the first half, and there weren’t any real goal-scoring opportunities in the second.
      But these type of fixtures are all about fitness and not really winning – neither side picked up any injuries.
      And there was a lot of substitutions!
      PEEEEEEEEEEP!
      THE FULL-TIME WHISTLE GOES AT THE MUNICIPAL STADIUM!
      IT ENDS LEVEL!
      POLAND 1-1 RUSSIA
      90+2. 13 fouls apiece.
      POLAND 1-1 RUSSIA
      90. Three additional minutes will be added on thanks to the large number of substitutions!
      POLAND 1-1 RUSSIA
      89. Kozlowski receives the ball on the turn 35 yards from goal.
      The midfielder opens his body up well, but sends a shot sailing high and wide of the target.
      POLAND 1-1 RUSSIA
      87. Kozlowski goes down after coming off worse in a challenge with Diveev, it doesn’t look too serious though.
      The referee has let a fair bit go this game, largely due to the game being a friendly.
      POLAND 1-1 RUSSIA
      85. Russian No4 and goal-scorer Karavayev is down with an injury, but it looks like cramp.
      Slight scare for the manager, and a substitution would be wise!
      POLAND 1-1 RUSSIA
      83. Still no real flow in the game, barely seen any action since the two first half goals.
      Neither team has gone close.
      POLAND 1-1 RUSSIA
      81. Jozwiak drives Poland forward all the way to the edge of Russia’s penalty area.
      The Derby County midfielder works the ball wide to goal-scorer Swierczok on the right.
      And the striker tries to break into the box but Diveev times his tackle to perfection.
      POLAND 1-1 RUSSIA
      79. SUBSTITUTION!
      Frankowski of Chicago Fire had a fine game, but it’s time for him to come off and make way for Linetty.
      POLAND 1-1 RUSSIA
      77. Russia win a corner after some good work down the left-hand side.
      POLAND 1-1 RUSSIA
      75. The tempo and intensity has really slowed down and you expect it really.
      It is only a friendly and neither side will want to pick up injuries ahead of the tournament.
      Credit: GETTY IMAGES
      POLAND 1-1 RUSSIA
      73. Swierczok turns away well from his marker Kudryashov, but is caught and goes to ground.
      Kudryashov – already on a booking – holds his hands up and pleads with the referee and is lucky not to see a second yellow.
      At Euro 2020, he won’t be so lucky.
      POLAND 1-1 RUSSIA
      71. Brighton midfielder Moder cuts inside off the left-hand side.
      And instead of clipping the ball to the far post, Moder goes for goal himself – but his effort comfortably clears the crossbar.
      The No16 has to do better there, there was better options on at the time.
      POLAND 1-1 RUSSIA
      69. SUBSTITUTION!
      Leeds midfielder has earned himself a rest, and he is replaced by Kozlowski.
      POLAND 1-1 RUSSIA
      68. Poland are preparing to bring on another player, a matter of minutes after the last substitution.
      Completely ruins the flow of the game. Start-stop start-stop.
      POLAND 1-1 RUSSIA
      66. SUBSTITUTIONS!
      Both teams are making changes, expect many more tonight as it is a friendly.
      Big man Dzyuba’s night comes to an end and he is replaced by Zabolotny.
      And left-back Kuzyayev is taken off for 37-year-old veteran Zhirkov.
      Poland also make a change and Brighton’s Moder is on for Swiderski and will play out wide on the right-hand side.
      POLAND 1-1 RUSSIA
      64. Russia are holding onto the ball really well and they have Poland pinned back inside their own half.
      Zobnin receives the ball out wide on the right-hand side and delivers a cross into the box.
      But Poland clear.
      POLAND 1-1 RUSSIA
      62. DOUBLE SUBSTITUTION!
      There’s a change in goal for Russia and Shunin is taken off for Safonov, and Miranchuk’s night also comes to an end.
      And he is replaced by Zhemaletdinov.
      POLAND 1-1 RUSSIA
      60. Russia have take a hold of the game, controlling 54 per cent of the ball compared to Poland’s 46.
      Credit: GETTY IMAGES
      POLAND 1-1 RUSSIA
      58. Klich tries to skilfully get away from Mukhin close to the touchline.
      But the ball knocks off the Leeds midfielder and goes out of play for a Russian throw-in.
      POLAND 1-1 RUSSIA
      56. TRIPLE SUBSTITUTION!
      Bednarek, Jozwiak and Bereszynski come on for Kedziora, Piatkowski and Kownacki.
      And for Russia, Mukhin is on and he’s replacing No7 Ozdoyev.

      Can Wales fans travel to Baku and Rome for Euro 2020?

      by

      WALES will be represented in the second European Championship running as they take on Switzerland, Turkey and Italy.But unlike England and Scotland, they will not be playing in the UK in the Euro 2020 group stage.
      Wales will play two of their Euro 2020 games in BakuCredit: PA
      Wales will also take on Italy at the Stadio Olimpico in RomeCredit: Reuters
      Instead, the Welsh will be heading off to Azerbaijan and Italy for the competition.
      And that begs the question, are their fans allowed to join them?
      Are Wales fans allowed to travel to Baku and Rome?
      As far as UK rules are concerned, Wales fans are legally allowed to travel wherever they like.
      That’s because the ban on international travel expired on May 17.
      However, both Azerbaijan and Italy are currently on the UK’s Amber list, meaning travel is not advised.
      And under the current rules, should Wales fans choose to travel to either country, they will have to quarantine at home for ten days on their return.
      They will also have to take a rapid Covid test before departure, plus PCR tests on Day 2 and Day 8 after arrival.
      And an FAW statement urged supporters not to make the trips to support the Dragons at Euro 2020.
      It read: “Due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, the FCDO (the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office) has issued advice warning Cymru fans not to travel to Baku or Rome as Azerbaijan and Italy are on the UK Government’s Amber list.
      “For those fans who remain determined to travel despite the warnings, the FAW strongly advises that fans check that their travel insurance is still valid and fit for purpose.”
      Entry to Italy and Azerbaijan depends on the criteria set out by the two countries, which are set out below.
      ⚽ Follow ALL of the latest news and updates from Euro 2020 with our live blog

      Can I enter Italy for Euro 2020?
      Italy has reopened to foreign travel and is now allowing passengers from the UK to enter with proof of a negative pre-departure PCR or rapid test.
      However, Italy has not announced any plans to sell match tickets to non-Italian residents.
      That means you may well end up watching in a bar if you choose to travel.
      Can I enter Azerbaijan for Euro 2020?
      Unlike Italy, Azerbaijan IS allowing supporters of participating teams from abroad to attend Euro 2020 matches.
      And any fans of participating teams will be EXEMPT from local quarantine rules if they hold a valid match ticket.
      Moreover, the country will be holding matches at 50 per cent capacity – up from the 25 per cent under which matches will take place in Rome.
      All that is needed for Wales fans to enter Azerbaijan and watch their team is a pre-departure negative PCR test.
      However, this offer only applies to citizens and residents of the participating countries. and not neutral supporters from Azerbaijan.
      As of June 1, fans should NOT travel back from Azerbaijan via Turkey as the country is on the red list.
      That means doing so will land you in hotel quarantine on your arrival back in the UK, leaving you £1750 out of pocket.

      Can I get travel insurance for Italy and Azerbaijan?
      As of June 1, the Foreign and Commonwealth advises against all but essential travel to both Italy and Azerbaijan.
      That means if you buy regular travel insurance, it will be void in both countries.
      However, some more expensive insurers, such as Battleface, do provide cover for visits to FCO ‘avoid all but essential travel’ destinations.
      If you are travelling to Italy and still have a valid EHIC card, you will be entitled to free medical care under most circumstances. But remember to check local regulations. More

      Is there a Euro 2020 fantasy football game? Is it FREE to play? Who are the best players on it?

      by

      WITH almost all Euro 2020 squad announcements in, fantasy football fanatics are keen to test their knowledge of the international game.Creating and managing a fantasy football team will enhance your enjoyment of the upcoming tournament – it also gives you a chance to get one over on your mates as you can compete in private mini-leagues.
      The best fantasy football game to play this summer is DREAM TEAM EUROS – it’s completely free to play and has a £50,000 jackpot!

      WIN £50,000! Play Dream Team Euros – our FREE fantasy football game this summer

      Cristiano Ronaldo will be popular with fantasy football managers once Euro 2020 gets underway
      How do you play Dream Team Euros?
      The premise will be familiar to many: pick the best possible XI from the players participating in Euro 2020 without exceeding a set budget – £50million to be exact.
      Once we’re underway, you’ll have 20 transfers to use throughout the tournament to react to the unfolding drama.
      Has Timo Werner suddenly remembered how to shoot? Get him in! Did North Macedonia really just beat Netherlands 7-0? Quick, swap Matthijs de Ligt for some bloke you’ve never heard of in your life!
      Your players will score points based on their performances with goalkeepers and defenders mainly benefiting from clean sheets while the best midfielders and forwards will be the ones banging in the goals.
      There’s also points for assists, hat-tricks, match ratings of 7+ – supplied by WhoScored – and the player with the highest match rating once the dust has settled will also be named Star Man – an accolade that earns them an additional five points.

      World Cup holders France are among the favourites to triumph at Euro 2020
      When does it start?
      You can sign-up for Dream Team Euros right now – it should be available via the Dream Team app (you may have to refresh your app) but users can also access the game through Dream Team’s site.
      You’ll be able to pick a prototype XI before team entry opens on May 21st – all player prices are subject to change until then.If your prototype team is revealed to be over budget you’ll have to shuffle the pack until it’s valid but don’t worry, you can make as many changes as you want before the tournament gets underway.
      Scoring starts once the first game kicks off, which is Turkey v Italy at 8pm on June 11th, and finishes after the final on July 11th.
      You can still enter a team after the first match has kicked off but you won’t get any points for the games that have already taken place or started – it’s best to settle on starting XI before the first kick-off.
      Harry Kane already has one Golden Boot at a major international tournament – could he fire England to glory this summer?
      Which players should you pick?
      Goals are worth their weight in gold so you’ll want to include some Golden Boot favourites – Robert Lewandowksi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Harry Kane, Romelu Lukaku and Kylian Mbappe all catch the eye but these big names will drain your budget so think carefully.
      It’s a similar story in midfield, N’Golo Kante may be world-class at what he does but he doesn’t score many goals – the likes of Bruno Fernandes and Kevin De Bruyne are more likely to etch their names on the scoresheet.
      At the back, you want a keeper and defenders capable of registering consistent clean sheets.
      Belgium conceded just three goals in their qualifying campaign so perhaps Thibaut Courtois is a prime candidate?

      What are the groups at Euro 2021?
      Your strategy will likely depend on the fixtures. Players facing tough opponents are less likely to score points than those with a relatively easy ride – at least in theory.
      With that in mind, here’s a reminder of the groups…
      GROUP A: Italy, Turkey, Wales, Switzerland
      GROUP B: Belgium, Denmark, Russia, Finland
      GROUP C: Netherlands, Austria, Ukraine, North Macedonia
      GROUP D: England, Croatia, Scotland, Czech Republic
      GROUP E: Spain, Sweden, Poland, Slovakia
      GROUP F: France, Portugal, Germany, Hungary
      Good luck in that one, Hungary!

      Why is Jesse Lingard starting for England against Austria when he’s not in the Euro 2020 squad?

      by

      GARETH SOUTHGATE has named his England Euro 2020 squad and there’s no room for Jesse Lingard.But that does not mean this is the end for the West Ham loanee as far as international football this summer is concerned.

      For a start, Gareth Southgate has stated that Lingard will START in the pre-tournament friendly against Austria at the Riverside.
      Why is Jesse Lingard set to start for England against Austria?
      While Jesse Lingard is not in the England Euro 2020 squad, the Three Lions have a number of players out for the game against Austria.
      Additionally, new Covid rules mean he is not ruled out of the Euros entirely.
      Uefa regulations state that while the 26-man squads had to be announced by June 21, changes can be made right up to the opening game of Euro 2020.
      And that means there could yet be a logic in giving Lingard another chance to show what he can do.
      Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate said: “Jesse’s done incredibly well to get back in the race really.
      “Going back to January, he was a million miles from being selected for an England squad.
      “I said in March he’d had a fabulous few weeks but you’d have to say he was a little fortunate [to be named in the squad for World Cup qualifying], because we were without about four wide players at the time.
      “He’s had a good spell for West Ham and he’s played so well for us with England.
      “We have total trust in the way he plays. He’s reliable, he’s a great member of the group.
      “He will play tomorrow because we’ve got Sancho ill and we’ve obviously got a lot of players not available, and for the balance of the team he’ll start.
      “He deserves that opportunity to go and show me that I’m wrong.
      “But also, the lads that are with us. They’re the standby players and we’ve got to keep them ready in case they come into that squad.”
