England vs Greece – Nations League: Live score, team news and updates as John Stones to captain The Three Lions at Wembley despite Greece’s ‘request to postpone’ game following the death of George Baldock

There has been a lot of talk about the amount of games elite footballers are being made to play this season.

Rodri spoke about it last month and even mentioned a possible player strike.

A week later he ruptured his ACL…

Now after Harry Kane’s injury, which means he will miss tonight’s game, his team-mate Joshua Kimmich has spoken up.

However, he did not give the speech most people expected.

Speaking on Tuesday, Kimmich said: ‘Maybe I’m making myself a bit unpopular, partly because I’m someone who always likes to play, who likes to have lots of games. I’m also looking forward to the Nations League games now.

‘There will always be injuries in football. The squads are also getting a bit wider. You can also change more often. I’d rather have an ‘English week’ than a normal week.

‘It’s more fun to be on the pitch. I don’t know if you get injured less with fewer games. Many serious injuries are also often accidents. Muscular injuries are certainly also linked to high levels of strain.’
