Nursemaid Southgate

HARRY MAGUIRE and Danny Rose must be nursed through fitness issues, admits Gareth Southgate.

Leicester defender Maguire (above) and Spurs full-back Rose missed training sessions this week.

And Southgate may not risk either today against Nigeria. The England boss said: “There is no huge problem with Harry but we have to decide how much football we give him.

“He has a small muscular issue and we would rather modify training rather than something happens and he is out for two or three weeks.

“We obviously know Danny has missed a lot of football, so he had been doing additional physical work and we need to think what that means for his match minutes over the next two games.”
