England's bid to win their Euro 2020 group has been thrown into chaos ahead of Tuesday's clash with the Czech Republic after Mason Mount and Ben Chilwell were forced to isolate following Scotland midfielder Billy Gilmour's positive coronavirus test.

In this file photo taken on June 13, 2021 England’s midfielder Mason Mount in action during the UEFA EURO 2020 Group D football match between England and Croatia at Wembley Stadium in London. – England will be without Chelsea duo Mason Mount and Ben Chilwell for their final Euro 2020 Group D match against the Czech Republic and potentially their last-16 tie, after the pair were deemed close contacts of Scotland’s Billy Gilmour, who has tested positive for coronavirus on June 22, 2021.

In a hammer blow to Scotland, Gilmour must quarantine for 10 days and has been ruled out of their decisive game against Croatia in Glasgow on Tuesday. “There’s still a lot of discussions and investigations going on behind the scenes. So at the moment they’re isolating and we just have to find out over the next 12 hours or so.”

England is behind the group-leading Czechs on goal difference and must win to ensure they finish in first place.Southgate’s side, who beat Croatia 1-0 in their opener, have been underwhelming so far and were booed off following the drab stalemate against Scotland. But the loss of the 20-year-old Gilmour is devastating following his man-of-the-match display against England in his first Scotland start.

It has been an emotional rollercoaster for Denmark, who lost their first two matches after the shock of Christian Eriksen’s cardiac arrest in the opener against Finland.Mikkel Damsgaard and Yussuf Poulsen put Denmark two up before Russia’s Artem Dzyuba converted a penalty.“It’s insane that we’re through. It’s fantastic to be part of this, Totally amazing to hear people get crazy,” Damsgaard told Danish broadcaster DR.
