Read our privacy policy Gareth Southgate says England’s shock loss to Iceland will knock any complacency out of a team he is certain will react strongly in their Euro 2024 opener against Serbia. “We’ve obviously lost some experienced players, like a Henderson and a Maguire because of physical issues,” the manager said of his 26-man Euros squad. “I can see what we need to do in the next week or so, and without a doubt we’ll be far better next Sunday than we were in the game tonight.” England’s players and staff are enjoying a final day off on Saturday before reconvening and flying out to Germany on Monday. “We’re focusing on all aspects, really, but we can’t hide the fact that we have got a lot of physical issues,” Southgate said.
