Harry Kane has revealed he warned his England teammates about the dismal state of Germany’s pitches before Euro 2024 began, having been shocked by the standard of surfaces in the Bundesliga last season.
Several England players and manager Gareth Southgate complained about the quality of the pitch at Frankfurt’s Deutsche Bank Park following the 1-1 group stage draw with Denmark last month, with substitute Jarrod Bowen believing he was fortunate to avoid serious injury after twisting his ankle in the turf soon after coming on.
