Before the England and Tunisia players took the field to face each other, they had to face another big problem- bugs.

According to Guardian, swarms of flying bugs caused chaos for fans and broadcasters around Volgograd. It was feared they may be a nuisance to players during the England v/s Tunisia match in FIFA World Cup 2018 on Monday evening.

According to the report, Sky Sports News- the official broadcaster in England- had to abandon a series of live interviews when their presenter was attacked by a swarm of bugs.

The city had deployed helicopters to spray the nearby marshland with pesticides to stop the bugs – a mixture of mosquitoes and midges.

The stadium, which is directly by the river Volga, might mean the number of bugs is even higher during the game on Monday evening, said the report.

England open their World Cup campaign on Monday with England captain Harry Kane, who is yet to score a goal in a tournament, vowing an aggressive approach against opponents Tunisia.

"First and foremost we are going to want to attack the game, we feel like we are going to have a lot of possession of the ball," Kane said.
