Mount and Chilwell may return for England’s next clash

Mason Mount

and

Ben Chilwell

are hoping to be able to help

in the Euro 2020 Round of 16 matches against Germany, and they will be available if their isolation period ends earlier.

Mount’s childhood friend and teammate in England national team

Declan Rice

has talked about the team’s situation with Mount and Chilwell’s absence, insisting that both players are experiencing a rough time in isolation.

"It's been really tough for him. He's had to isolate with Chilly. He's been in a room here at St George's for a couple of days.

"I've been speaking to him on WhatsApp and FaceTimed him a couple of times. It's important the lads check in and talk to them because they are still here, even though they are in their own rooms and not doing much they are still part of this squad and ready to have a massive impact in this tournament.

"So I think for me it's just like a normal day with Mase. I chat with him now and again. Tonight I'll probably speak to him again and hopefully get an update on whether he can come out and start to train again."

He has also jokingly said that he is a lost soul without his close friend, but he says that he will be out of isolation in a couple of days.

"[I am a] lost soul! To be fair a few of the lads come up to me and said 'you look lost' and I had a bit of banter - 'yeah I am!' He's been alright to be fair, hopefully, he's out in the next couple of days.

"I spoke to him yesterday, he tested negative again, I'm hoping he can be back with the group soon."
