Gareth southgate has taken a gamble on including leicester citys James Maddison in his squad for their euro qualifiers against kosovo and montenegro. He had to pull out of their last set of matches due to illness, but was then spotted in a casino during the international break. This is also the first time that southgate has spoken since bulgaria were given a punishment of having to playjust one game behind closed doors for the racial abuse that england players suffered during their qualifier. Joe wilson was at wembley. In many ways and england manager might be relieved to be able to talk about squad tactics, formation, even qualification ahead of this next england international. Gareth southgate has been very in braced impressed with the way that his putter has returned from service injury. He is back in a full squad. There is reassurance to seejohn stones name in there as well. What happened and sophia is still the source of deep syrup discipline. But Gareth Southgate is proud with the way his players dealt with that situation. And having seen the players come through such a challenging set of circumstances, whether that intensified Team Identity and that england dressing room . The best thing that we can do in terms of the message we give to the wide world is to continue to work as we do as a team. They can see how close the team are, they can see how close the team are, they can see the diversity of the team, the different backgrounds, and how they arejust a different backgrounds, and how they arejusta Group Different backgrounds, and how they arejust a group of different backgrounds, and how they are just a group of brothers who come together and want to play football and enjoy each others company. That in itself is a hugely powerful message for everybody in society. Gareth southgate also knows that he is a miniature bus with resources. That he is a miniature bus with resources.

From what ive heard from the players, they are targeting those areas now because they want to go to those areas now because they want to gotoa those areas now because they want to go to a home euros and be successful. Do you see yourself as a future england manager . At the moment im happy where i am. I love my club and working with the players, its the day today i enjoy. Fourth and and your first season in the ws l, how is the season gone at Manchester United because it is just been a phenomenal start for you . We obsolete face Manchester City and they are traditionally a very good site obviously face them. It was a tough start against arsenal but im glad we had that star because it gave us a real idea of where we are at, how we are going to compete and what we needed to work on and we werent far far short. At the attack,. And they are hosting the first job at the attack,. And they are hosting the firstjob as well. Are we going to see a return fixture at old trafford .

Still to come on sportsday. Hes had a colourful career, but now hes stepping back from rugby. Former england captain Dylan Hartley retires from the sport. She is an olympic champion, but she is also the most recognisable tra nsgender person in the world. Caitlynjenner won decathlon gold while living as brucejenner, and then became known as a reality star after marrying kris kardashian. At the age of 65, she announced that she wanted to live her life as a woman. Shes spoken to simon mundie about tra nsgender athletes and the iocs policy leading up to the 2020 olympics. The most important thing is that people that are different, people that are dealing with trans issues and stuff like that, i think they deserve an opportunity to play sports. Sports was very, very good to me. And we should not deny them of that opportunity. But also i think we should look at it very closely and pretty much deal with it on an individual basis and the Olympic Committee is doing a good job. Well, i asked simon mundie ifjenner had put the achievements of bruce behind her or if she was still proud of them. She is still very proud of her achievements and a thing for a whole generation of people now think of her as the most famous transgender person as a reality tv star but there is this whole story of what happened in 1976. I did ask her what is more important to you, the transitioning or the elliptic achievement . And she said its a mixer of both but i would have to go for the transitioning because the olympics took 12 years to train for. Transitioning took 65 years. What would she have got the platform had an epic not happen . So she was delighted to talk about it. And was rightly proud of what was an incredible achievement in the last of amateur games. And competing in a quite a mask quite massive and environment, where she had to be muscular, and fit into a managed image, did you find yourself put under a lot of pressure at the time . Absolutely. She was the a pitch me ofa absolutely. She was the a pitch me of a masculine all athletic american athletic care. She to me the morning after the game, she was stood there in her hotel room without a stitch close on and said picked up the gold medal within the mirrorand said picked up the gold medal within the mirror and said have a built up this character so big that i am now stuck with him forever . Because she said a lot of what drove the training to win the in 76 stem from gender dysphoria which is where your biological six and gender identity is different and the dyslexia. She had been built up in the front
