England have hit a roadblock in their bid to win the European title with center Stones being quarantined with an infection, a good chance to miss the first group game against Serbia. With Harry Makouni not selected due to injury, England captain Shovky will be joined by Mark Gushee and Levesque Dunk for the regular selection, with the two stalwarts having never played in an international match before, and the door open in the 'Three Lions Regiment' at all times.
England have been training for a couple of days since entering the German base. Stones injured his ankle in the warm-up and took some time off. He rejoined training on Tuesday (11) but was back in training on Wednesday (12). 'Disappeared', it turned out, had contracted a virus and was ordered to stay in quarantine in the players' room to avoid the virus infecting other teammates. The English FA has not confirmed that Stones is sick, but it would be difficult for him to be well enough to play in three days.
The combination of Stones and Harry Magooni has been England's main partner since World 2018. Harry Magooni failed with an injury and only 11 caps were selected by Mark Gushie. It will reportedly be replaced by either Levis Dunk or Ansgan Shah. They both have a record of 10 international matches, all 10 being warm-up matches and not even attempted in outings. Joining Mark Gushee in the internationals 'Newbie'.
Sources say 32-year-old Levis Dunk will be the first choice for a replacement. He has been positive in his last two warm-up games but has been criticized for his performance in the first leg of the 2-2 draw with Belgium in March, with the first goal being attributed to a mistake. The backbone of the Baillyton squad has also been questioned, with many fans believing that Alejandro's fellow bannerman Wadey is more deserving of a place on the shortlist.
