Gareth Southgate will not bring Mason Mount back for England’s last-16 tie with Germany tonight after the stress trauma of 10 days away, insists top psychologist, but England determined keep Germany guessing

Mason Mount will not be ready to face Germany in the last-16 tie of Euro 2020, insists a leading psychologist, and Gareth Southgate will not risk him in the starting line up.

England are keeping Germany guessing on their team selection right up to an hour before kick-off, despite Mount and Chelsea team mate, Ben Chilwell, being separated from the squad this week.

The pair were forced into isolation after being deemed to have had close contact with Billy Gilmour following the England-Scotland clash on June 18. The Scottish player subsequently tested positive for Covid-19.
