Yunus Musah admits mixed emotions ahead of USA vs England as players skip Thanksgiving

Yunus Musah has admitted he will be suffering mixed emotions when he lines up for the US against England in the World Cup tomorrow.

New York-born Musah represented England at Under-15 level through to Under-18s, but made the decision to represent the US at senior level in 2021. Musah’s decision was a big blow to Gareth Southgate, who had high hopes the midfielder - who also qualified to play for Italy and Ghana - would choose to represent England.
