England are fully expecting an impassioned pro-Ukraine atmosphere at Tarczynski Arena in Wroclaw, Poland for Saturday's Euro 2024 qualifying game against Ukraine, manager Gareth Southgate said, while confirming all of his players are available for the match.
Ukraine have not played at home since Russia launched an invasion of the country in February 2022, which Moscow calls a"special military operation", and Southgate was asked how he felt about facing the war-torn country. "The full focus has been on Bayern Munich and trying to win the games there," the 30-year-old said."The Euros are something at the back of our mind but we have to qualify first. I don't like to think too far ahead but hopefully by next summer it will feel a little more like home."
Southgate had kind words for Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka, who was crowned England's men's player of the year earlier in the week for the second successive year.
