England vs Germany: Steve McClaren and Injury

The match between England and Germany is going to take place next week in England. This is an international friendly match but because of the traditional rivalry between these two countries in politics and football, this match has become a matter of prestige for the fans. So there is a lot of pressure on English coach to perform well in this match. However, the bad news for England coach is that some of his key players are now injured and they can not take part in this match. For example, England is now without Wayne Rooney who is their best striker at the moment. Wayne Rooney is injured and can not play not only in this match but also for the next two months. If the news of Wayne Rooney is bad news then the worst news is that influential midfielder of England team Steven Gerrard is also injured and can not take part in this match. Steven Gerrard is perhaps the most successful and influential midfielder for England team at this moment. He plays for Liverpool in English premier league. So, these two injuries will make life difficult for Steve McClaren. He needs to motivate his players and encourage to fill the gap of Rooney and Gerrard Then he has to also think of David Beckham. It is not sure that if David Beckham can come to England for this match or not. You know that David Beckham is at this moment in America. David Beckham is suffering from injury too and he is hundred percent fit. So if he can come to play for England team then it will be good for England.

Now, the time has come for Frank Lampard to show that he is as good as Steven Gerrard and can motivate other players. Lampard also plays in the midfield and he is playing for Chelsea. The good news is that Michael Owen is going to come back and play for England in this match. So, Michael Owen will have to fill the gap of Wayne Rooney and prove that he is still the no. 1 striker of England. If you are an English fan then pray for him. Science does not look so good for him.
