- England manager says former FA chairman had to quit
- Joe Gomez horror injury brings more injury woe to Liverpool
Gareth Southgate says that Greg Clarke had no alternative but to resign from his position as the Football Association’s chairman after making remarks that were “not acceptable” on Tuesday that led to hurt and condemnation within the organisation.
The England manager lost Joe Gomez to a horror knee injury in training on Wednesday – a setback that threatens to end the Liverpool centre-half’s season and has deepened his club’s defensive selection crisis. But as Southgate prepared for Thursday night’s Wembley friendly against the Republic of Ireland, it was the Clarke fiasco that cast long shadows.
