What has Jamal Musiala said ahead of the England match?

Musiala has spoken on his connection with England ahead of tonight’s game and has admitted he takes the fans’ frustration as a compliment.

Speaking to Mail Online, the midfielder said: “From my time with England in the youth level, they have amazing talents and I was playing with many of them as well - the Under 21s, 19s.

“There was many players which can have an amazing career and I think England’s youth system is very good for that, to build on these talents and make sure they get better.

“When you said (about) breaking hearts, some of my friends message me here and there when they see me saying I should have played for England and stuff.

“We joke around but I think they’re still happy for my decision.

“I’m sure some England fans won’t be happy but I think that means I’m doing good if it upsets some people that I didn’t choose their country.”
