“Kyle is ready” – Southgate on Walker ahead of likely Mbapp\u00e9 battle<\/p>\n
Let’s take a look at a few other things Gareth Southgate said in his pre-match press conference<\/strong> yesterday.<\/p>\n Firstly, the England boss was asked about the likely head-to-head battle between speedsters Kyle Walker and Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 – and whether Walker, who has only just returned from a groin injury, is ready to face the France striker.<\/p>\n \u201cWe always wanted to give Kyle the opportunity to be fit for the tournament,” Southgate said. “He’s been a very important player for us over the last six years. I think we’ve managed that process well, the right reintroduction into the team, in terms of minutes against Wales and 90 minutes in the last game, which for any player is important. So Kyle is ready<\/strong>.<\/p>\n “We of course are talking about one of the opposition, but we play France, who are a fantastic team<\/strong>. We’re aware of all of their attacking players and we’re aware of the quality of the whole squad. That’s what has made them so strong to be able to cope with the loss of some very big players.<\/p>\n “I think that’s what Didier [Deschamps] has created. He’s created a team that is stronger than the individuals<\/strong>, and I would say maybe that wasn’t always the case, in the same way it wasn’t always the case with us. So that’s great credit to him. We know we’ve got to be at our very best to win the game.\u201d<\/p>\n (Photos: REUTERS\/Ahmed Jadallah)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" “Kyle is ready” – Southgate on Walker ahead of likely Mbapp\u00e9 battle Let’s take a look at a few other things Gareth Southgate said in his pre-match press conference yesterday.
