'WE'RE READY FOR ANYTHING'

GARETH SOUTHGAT E says his England side are ready to go to the wire again tonight, insisting fatigue will not wreck their bid to reach an historic second straight European Championship Final.

The Three Lions meet Holland in their semi-final here seeking to become the first England men’s team to make the final of a major tournament overseas, but must also overcome fears of burnout after a rollercoaster journey.

Southgate’s men needed extra-time to overcome Slovakia in the last 16 and then went to a penalty shootout against Switzerland in last Saturday’s quarter-final, while the Dutch have come through each of their knockout games inside 90 minutes.

England also arrived in Germany with concerns about the workload and fitness of key players such as Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham and Bukayo Saka, but Southgate says his side have taken lessons from their deep runs at recent tournaments and will be ready to go to the well again this evening.
