MILLWALL BOSS Gary Rowett is keen to follow England’s progress in the World Cup, but claims it may be difficult as he prepares for the second half of the Championship campaign.
The Lions have no players involved in the tournament in Qatar after Tom Bradshaw missed out on a place in the Welsh national team. It means that the manager will have his entire squad available when they return to training next week.
Rowett is adamant that he will make time to watch the Three Lions, telling NewsAtDen about his surprise that AC Milan’s Fikayo Tomori was left out of Gareth Southgate’s squad, although he explained that his main focus will be on Millwall’s preparation for the January transfer window and the rest of the season.
“I’ll watch them, I’ll always watch England, especially in the big tournaments,” he clarified.
“Again, it’ll just be interesting to fit it around training and matches and whatever happens.
“We’ll try and do our best. I’m sure the players will want to watch one or two of the games, although I think some players nowadays aren’t as bothered about watching the football.
“When I was a kid, I used to watch every game and I still do. It’s hard to understand when people don’t, but everyone’s different, aren’t they?”
