Southgate wary of ‘hostile environment’ facing England players in Montenegro

The Three Lions boss has claimed facing daunting away trips is part and parcel of international football

Gareth Southgate has admitted England could face a ‘hostile environment’ when they take on Montenegro in Podgorica on Monday night.

The game will be England’s second of their Euro 2020 qualifying campaign following a 5-0 home win against the Czech Republic on Friday.

With the Three Lions facing a lower-ranked side, many are expecting an easier game than the one they faced at Wembley, but Southgate has warned his side that playing away from home could be a tougher task.
