One of England star Eberechi Eze’s former teachers has described how the south Londoner had battled adversity to become the “wildcard” who could make the difference in the Euro 2024 semi-final.
Eze, 25, was part of a triple substitution that gave England renewed impetus shortly before they equalised with 10 minutes to go in the quarter-final against Switzerland. He was also involved in the build-up to England’s winner in the round of 16 against Slovakia, again after coming off the bench — and could have a key role to play in tonight’s clash with the Netherlands in Dortmund.
