England head coach Gareth Southgate dislocated his right shoulder while running, the English Football Association disclosed on Wednesday.
Southgate suffered the injury while running near England’s base camp in Repino, just outside St. Petersburg, during a scheduled day off from training.
“I might not be celebrating any goals as athletically in future! The doctor has made it clear that punching the air is not an option. We are lucky we have a top-class medical team around us, so it was fine. I had brilliant help from them, and I am just sorry that I managed to ruin their day off. It is better this is me than one of the players,” Southgate said as quoted by the association on its official website.
England defeated Tunisia 2-1 thanks to a brace from captain Harry Kane in their first Group G match on Monday. They will next face Panama before wrapping up their group campaign against Belgium.
