Better me than one of the players, Southgate laughs off at dislocated shoulder

The England coach is unlikely to be celebrating as wildly the next time his team score at the World Cup after suffering the injury out running .England were forced to contend with an unusual injury blow on Wednesday, as manager Gareth Southgate dislocated his right shoulder while running near the team’s World Cup base in Repino.

Southgate was hurt during a scheduled day off from training, but laughed off the incident that led to him addressing his players with his arm in a sling at a team meeting later in the day. The England boss leapt into the air enthusiastically following Harry Kane’s injury-time winner against Tunisia on Monday and joked: “I might not be celebrating any goals as athletically in future! The doc has made it clear that punching the air is not an option.”
