JEEPERS KEEPERS!

Pickford making 100 saves a day and says: We’re ready

JORDAN PICKFORD has revealed that England’s keepers have been making more than 100 saves a day to prepare for the Euros.

Pickford reckons he has produced between 500 and 700 saves this week, and his understudies Dean Henderson and Sam Johnstone have been doing the same, with coach Martyn Margetson.

Pickford said: “We train a lot of actions in the week for that one game, to then only have to make one save.

“I think working with Margy and the keepers this week we’ll rack up to 500 to 700 saves in training – and that’s just with the keeper coach.

“But it means that we’re prepared for anything come game day.”

Pickford was only two years old when David Seaman became England’s heroin Euro 96.
