During the intense match against Serbia, there was a moment of concern when Kieran Trippier went down late in the game. However, England's coach Gareth Southgate quickly put fans at ease by revealing that Trippier was only suffering from cramp in the closing stages of the game. Despite this small setback, England was able to hold on to their narrow 1-0 lead, thanks to Jude Bellingham's header in the first half, and secure the top spot in Group C.
With left-back Luke Shaw still recovering from an injury, the potential loss of Trippier would have left England with limited options in that position. But Southgate reassured everyone that Trippier's cramp was not a cause for concern as the team now shifts their focus to their upcoming match against Denmark on Thursday. In fact, Southgate reported that all players came through the game without any major issues.
While England's performance in the second half may have left something to be desired, there was one player who stood out - centre-back Marc Guehi. Making his debut at a major tournament, Guehi impressed with his solid performance, earning praise from his coach. Southgate noted that Guehi's positioning was on point and he handled the aerial threat well, despite not being the tallest player on the field.
Speaking about his debut, Guehi was humbled and grateful for the opportunity to play alongside experienced players. He acknowledged their guidance and how it made his job easier. For Guehi, the focus was on the team's performance as a whole, and he saw the game against Serbia as a valuable learning experience for the team. He hopes they can carry that knowledge into their next match and beyond, as they aim to go far in the tournament.
