Former England manager Sir Gareth Southgate has warned that families “can’t afford to buy kit” to take part in sport and PE lessons.

Sir Gareth said there was a “risk kids end up in front of screens a lot of the time” rather than being active and outside in a “difficult time where economically a lot of families are struggling”.
