9月30日，24直播网独家报道，天空体育的Rob Dorsett透露，对于英格兰国家队、英格兰足球协会以及他们的教练图赫尔来说，曼城这一突发新闻的公布时机无疑是灾难性的。这一消息的揭露，距离英格兰队即将展开的欧国联第二场比赛不到两个小时，而此战对英格兰队而言，是确保晋级八强关键的一战，胜利至关重要。
As the players made their way to the field, the significant news was bound to reach their ears. It's likely that a series of high-level meetings were convened promptly by the FA, to deliberate on the necessary responses. It's worth noting that the scheduled post-game interviews with manager Tuchel and the players were set to take place, yet in the current circumstances, it's hard to envision anyone from their ranks speaking with ease about the matter.
在最新公布的阵容名单中，曼城贡献了三位现役球员，他们分别是格伊、安德森以及因伤未能参赛的奥赖利。值得一提的是，今晚将为英格兰队把守球门的特拉福德，尽管目前效力利兹联，但他的职业生涯始于曼城青训营。这四位球员，作为球队不可或缺的力量，在得知这一消息后，心中难免涌现出对未来的不确定与忧虑。
英格兰的球员们无论身处何地，无不对此事热议纷纷，这一议题此刻牢牢占据了他们的大脑。这种情况使得球员们难以摆脱纷扰，无法以轻松的心态全力以赴于当下的比赛。
