England manager Gareth Southgate has confirmed that while he hopes his players can see their partners in their downtime during the World Cup in Qatar, it all depends on Covid. The Three Lions are set to jet off to the Middle East in the coming days, with their respective families in tow.
Southgate has warned his players they will monitor the 'Covid situation' to see if they can meet them face-to-face, the Daily Star reported. He said: "We would like it to happen, we think it is a significant part of a team feeling relaxed and comfortable. But at the moment none of us know what the transmission rate is likely to be out there."
Southgate remained optimistic, before adding: “We need to monitor it quite closely."
