In today’s Sunday’s papers, most of the headlines are dominated by the end of the lockdown, will England end the lockdown this month or will it be extended.
Also, we look ahead to England’s final friendly game tonight and much of the paper talk revolves around the inclusion of Harry Maguire and Jordan Henderson.
Hendersons is set to feature tonight but Harry Maguire is not quite fit enough and is raising lots of questions with fans and sports commentators about the validity of his inclusion.
