LONDON: Gareth Southgate blames England players for breaking the rules by turning the national team into a circus.

The Three Lions boss also believes the five stars are also wasting their time with such behavior.

Ben Chilwell, Jadon Sancho and Tammy Abraham will not be listed for tomorrow morning’s friendly against Wales at Wembley for participating in a big party last Saturday.

They may also miss the League of Nations match against Belgium early Monday morning.

Other players eliminated include Phil Foden and Mason Greenwood who violated Iceland’s curfew rules.

Southgate said: “We need to know that things like this affect the team. It affects the energy. It takes time to resolve it.

“And that time is better used to focus on preparation for training, talking to players.”

England are still investigating the event involving the three players which is said to be organized as a surprise for Abraham.

The law stipulates that no more than six persons may hold ceremonies.
