Declan Rice has revealed how a combination of Netflix, WhatsApp and an exercise bike is keeping Mason Mount focused as the FA dismissed suggestions he could be set for an early return to training.
Mount, the Chelsea midfielder, remains in isolation as does his club-mate Ben Chilwell following their close contact with Scotland midfielder Billy Gilmour, who tested positive for coronavirus. They had to miss the Czech Republic fixture and remain separated from Gareth Southgate’s squad.
There was an indication on Friday that Mount and Chilwell might get to train with the group this weekend but that is not the case and it remains to be seen whether they will be available for Tuesday’s last 16 clash with Germany.
