As the "Shuffleboard Era" comes to an end in English football, Casley has taken over as England's interim leader, but the England squad at international level is looking rather strange. The three pillars of the squad - Galpenma, Phil Cotton and Onitsuguinas - have announced their farewells to the team, meaning they will be absent from the upcoming Europa League matches in Ireland and Finland.
On Tuesday (3), Manchester City superstar Phil Cotton was absent due to illness and later officially announced his farewell to the national team; Golpenma and Onitsuguenas had traveled to the training base but after being examined by military doctors, the president of the English soccer confirmed that they will return to the field after rehabilitation.
There is no official word from England on the exact injury status of Galpenma and Onitsuguenas. However, given their impressive performances in the first three rounds of the Premier League, I firmly believe that this is not a serious issue. It is reported that there is no byelection plan for Carsley at the moment, and England will be away to Ireland in the early hours of Sunday (8).
