Argentina look odds on to exit after Croatia loss
“I had to devise a plan for this match. Had I set things up differently, things might have turned out much better. I don’t think it’s realistic to put the burden on Caballero.”
Argentina face Nigeria in their last group game but know even a victory may not be enough to see them through.
GARETH Southgate is considering dropping Raheem Sterling against Panama, judging by a note spotted at England training.
Preparations are under way for Sunday’s game in Nizhny Novgorod as the Three Lions look to build on their last-gasp 2-1 win against Tunisia and stride towards the World Cup knockout phase.
England began fully focusing on the Group G clash with Panama yesterday, when attention on manager Southgate after dislocating a shoulder swiftly switched to his assistant.
Steve Holland was pictured holding a note that showed the side are preparing to play in 3-5-2 formation again this Sunday, with Ruben Loftus-Cheek in midfield instead of the injured Dele Alli and Marcus Rashford playing in the front two alongside captain Harry Kane.
The sheet suggested Sterling would be the fall guy in attack.
