MOSCOW (Sputnik) - England head coach Gareth Southgate dislocated his right shoulder while running near England's base camp in Repino, just outside St. Petersburg, during a scheduled day off from training.

"I might not be celebrating any goals as athletically in future! The doc has made it clear that punching the air is not an option… We are lucky we have a top-class medical team around us, so it was fine. I had brilliant help from them, and I am just sorry that I managed to ruin their day off. It is better this is me than one of the players," the head coach was quoted as saying by the English Football Association on its official website.
