Neville delays linking up with England to take Valencia training

Gary Neville will stay with Valencia this week rather than linking up with England for friendlies against Germany and Holland, he confirmed.

Gary Neville will delay linking up with the England squad to take Valencia training in the coming days, he confirmed after his side lost 2-0 at home to Celta Vigo on Sunday.

A run of three straight La Liga defeats has increased the pressure on Neville, who was expected to join Roy Hodgson's coaching staff Monday ahead of friendlies against Germany and Holland.

Neville faced chants for his resignation from the Mestalla stands toward the end of Sunday's game, and the England coach responded by announcing he will be staying at Valencia until the latter part of next week.
