While Liverpool and Tottenham fans have been rejoicing at their teams' remarkable progress to the Champions League final, spare a thought for England manager Gareth Southgate.

Hoping to lead England to their first major tournament win since 1966, Southgate will have to adjust his preparation plans for next month's Nations League finals, with up to 10 players now set for a delayed arrival to the squad.

The Three Lions play their semi-final against Holland on Thursday June 6, just five days after Liverpool and Tottenham go head-to-head in Madrid for the Champions League final on Saturday June 1.

On Tuesday Liverpool's emotional Anfield victory over Barcelona ensured Southgate could expect delayed arrivals from the likes of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joe Gomez, Jordan Henderson and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

That was the compounded 24 hours later as Tottenham, a squad packed full of English players, pulled off another remarkable comeback against Ajax. Danny Rose, Kieran Tripper, Eric Dier, Dele Alli and Harry Winks will all be hoping to feature in the Spanish capital as Spurs bid for Champions League glory.
