Nothing to do with his current form, then.
plus they are not meaningless gamesThe travel Lamela has to do is the big issue, 15 + hours each way to get to Sth America?
As far as I know we also have TJ Eyoma, Oliver Skipp, Tashan Oakley-Boothe, Nya Kirby and Reo Griffiths with the under 16s.Winks U20
Kyle Walker-Peters & Onomah U19
Alfie Whiteman & Marcus Edwards U18
Jaden Brown, Japhet Tanganga and Samuel Shashoua U17
No.Nothing to do with his current form, then.
From what I can tell, Lamela's only made four appearances for Argentina in the last two seasons, each one from the bench. Twice being subbed on after the 80th minute. So I wouldn't expect him to be exerting himself too much in those games.
My biggest worry is the English players, particularly Alli and Kane. Wouldn't be surprised at all to see both of them start both games.
Our whole starting XI got called up... damn. Something is bound to happen
The Belgium vs Portugal game is now cancelled.
The events are horrific and I really dislike Sport being stopped as a result, but I think given Belgium's forces being too thinly stretched (I will leave my views on that out of this discussion) one can understand why.
I hope the boys are doing ok, mentally... Hugo will understand what they might be going through.
As a severely minor silver lining, but you know, look for positives in everything, I will be pleased to see our boys getting a rest, but it should never be as a result of something like this.
Oh ok, well done Portugal. Shame in some respects (players traveling and playing), but good to see sport coming together to ensure we aren't going to be intimidated.Game looks as though it is now going ahead now, in Portugal rather than Belgium. Im assuming it will still be played on Tuesday.

Maybe it's better that is their first game following what happened and not our next fixture.gutted the Belgium game is still happening but in Portugal now as I would have wanted our players to get some well deserved rest but hey ho. The show must go on.. Lets hope it becomes a training like session.
kind of hoping that with it being moved to Tuesday, Dembele doesn't play with us having Liverpool on the Saturday.
