England were forced to contend with an unusual injury blow on Wednesday, as manager Gareth Southgate dislocated his right shoulder while running near the team's World Cup base in Repino.

Southgate was hurt during a scheduled day off from training, but laughed off the incident that led to him addressing his players with his arm in a sling at a team meeting later in the day.

The England boss leapt into the air enthusiastically following Harry Kane's injury-time winner against Tunisia on Monday and joked: "I might not be celebrating any goals as athletically in future! The doc has made it clear that punching the air is not an option."

In quotes reported by the Football Association's official website, Southgate added: "It is better this is me than one of the players.

"They were a bit surprised in the team meeting and were asking 'what have you been doing!?' – as always, they were probably quite amused.

"It is good that we have had a quiet day today so I had prepared the meeting before and we are on to preparations for Panama.

"I am just a bit gutted because I was on for my record 10k time!"
