Euro 2020: England's Mason Mount, Ben Chilwell and Scotland's Billy Gilmour go into isolation
FirstpostSouthgate acknowledged the Covid issue was the worst possible preparation to play a Czech team also certain to advance to the last 16. England’s bid to win their Euro 2020 group has been thrown into chaos ahead of Tuesday’s clash with the Czech Republic after Mason Mount and Ben Chilwell were forced to isolate following Scotland midfielder Billy Gilmour’s positive coronavirus test. Mount and Chilwell embraced their Chelsea team-mate Gilmour on the Wembley pitch after England’s 0-0 draw with Scotland on Friday. England manager Gareth Southgate was waiting anxiously to discover if Mount, who has started both of the team’s group matches and Chilwell, yet to play in the tournament, will be available to face the Czechs at Wembley. “Billy would have started the game and now he won’t, so it’s a chance for someone else to come into the team and make themselves a national hero,” Scotland boss Steve Clarke said.
