0Shares0000Dele Alli leaves the pitch during England’s World Cup opener against Tunisia © AFP/File / NICOLAS ASFOURISAINT PETERSBURG, Russian Federation, Jun 25 – Dele Alli was back training on Monday, sprinting and kicking balls, as Gareth Southgate planned ahead for England’s final World Cup group game against Belgium.Alli’s availability would be a boost and his participation at England’s base in Repino suggests the midfielder is close to recovering from a thigh strain he picked up in the side’s opening win against Tunisia. But with qualification already secured and a strong argument emerging for finishing second rather than first in Group G, Southgate must decide whether key players, including Alli, are in need of a rest or if he sticks to a winning formula.While the eleven that started Sunday’s match against Panama were spared training after their crushing 6-1 win, England’s substitutes were put through a running session and did some ball work.Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Alli’s replacement against Panama, was bright and composed in Nizhny Novgorod, his shot cannoning off Harry Kane and into the net for England’s sixth.But Alli possesses a goal threat that Loftus-Cheek lacks and, crucially, England need if they are to take the burden away from their free-scoring captain.“It’s about the balance of goalscorers in the team,” Southgate’s assistant Steve Holland said last week.“Someone told me a long time ago that to have a successful team you need three-and-a-half goalscorers. We’ve tried to address that.”Captain Kane scored England’s first World Cup hat-trick since Gary Lineker against Poland in 1986 © AFP / Martin BERNETTIThat would suggest Alli will remain first choice and Southgate may be keen he plays against Belgium to ensure he gets minutes on the pitch before the last-16 match.Also in Southgate’s thinking may be the threat of suspensions. Loftus-Cheek picked up a yellow card against Panama and another would bring a one-match ban, with Kyle Walker is also vulnerable after being cautioned against Tunisia.The less drastic approach might include a start for Danny Rose, short of match fitness after an injury-affected season at Tottenham, in place of either Kieran Trippier, who has a knock, or Ashley Young.Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford has been pressing his case and could also come in for Raheem Sterling.– Kane threat –England cannot afford an injury to Kane. Fleet-footed Leicester striker Jamie Vardy is waiting in the wings but Kane’s hat-trick against Panama put him in pole position in the race to be topscorer in Russia and he will want to add to his tally.Southgate also has the option to rotate more heavily. Eric Dier could replace Jordan Henderson as the midfield anchor, Gary Cahill and Phil Jones could come into the back three, and even Jack Butland could be given a run-out in goal.But so much upheaval seems unlikely, even if Southgate has said before that he would not wish on anyone his own World Cup experience of 2002, when he was left unused by Sven-Goran Eriksson.Defeat to Belgium would not be disastrous — it could even be desirable in terms of the draw — but England might find it hard to escape the conclusion they had lost to their first elite opponent after overcoming two poor ones.“The harmony of the group is important to me,” Southgate said on Sunday. “Some have been a couple of weeks without a match and we’re going to need more people ready as we get further into the tournament.“But we want to keep playing well and keep the consistency in our play, too. We want to keep the momentum going and keep progressing as a team.”0Shares0000(Visited 1 times, 1 visits today)

Gordon McQueen hopes Aiden McGeady and James McCarthy receive a hostile reception from Scotland fans on Friday night.Former Scotland star Gordon McQueen has branded Aiden McGeady and James McCarthy ‘traitors’ ahead of Scotland’s clash with Ireland at Celtic Park on Friday night.McGeady and McCarthy both qualify to play for Ireland because of their Donegal heritage.Their grandfathers both come from Gweedore, and the Everton duo opted to play for the Republic of Ireland ahead of the country in which they were born in. Former Manchester United and Leeds United star has stoked the flames ahead of a potentially toxic atmosphere on Friday night.McQueen said, “I’ve got no time for these players. You’re born in Glasgow but then you go and play for somebody else?“What’s that all about? I’m not having that at all. Will it be hard for them coming back here with Ireland?“I really hope so. I hope they get a horrible reception because they deserve it. McQueen further endeared himself to Irish fans by revealing his confidence that Scotland would record a victory they need to stay in the hunt for qualification.“Personally, I would think that we will qualify but I would be ashamed if we didn’t because just about everybody gets to these finals – 24 countries. Surely we can do that?

The scene of the crash at Fintown. Pic courtesy of Seamus DohertyA WOMAN has been taken to hospital after a collision that occurred just outside Fintown earlier.The single vehicle crash happened on the main Fintown to Glenties road.However, the car left the road just half a mile outside of Fintown. It is believed the adverse weather conditions caused the driver to lose control of the car and skid off the road.The woman was injured but not seriously.Gardaí are appealing to all drivers to take it easy on the roads and are asking people to avoid any unnecessary journeys.Heavy snow has fallen in many parts of Donegal overnight and that has made driving conditions treacherous.
