We present the announcement of the match of the 1/8 finals of the 2018 World Cup between Colombia and England.
For the teams the group stage passed absolutely differently. South Americans in the first match were defeated because almost the entire match played in the minority, while it was clear that they are much stronger than the Japanese. In the last round, the Colombians needed a victory over Senegal in order to go further, and they got it in a difficult match, jumping from the third to the first place.
The British at the last minute of the first round managed to score and win Tunisia, and in the second round they easily sorted out with Panama, punching debutants six goals. In the last match in the group stage, the British, as if reluctantly played with Belgium and lost at least a half-reserve.
It is likely that England will go to Colombia without its leader, Hamas Rodriguez. In the match against Senegal, the midfielder was injured and left the field well before the match ended. Inspection showed that the injury is not very serious and Hamas has the opportunity to play in the 1/8 finals, maybe coming on as a substitute.
Another player who can miss the match is Abel Aguilar. The midfielder also received minor damage, but still may be available.
England is finally ready to play Dela Alli, who, due to injury, missed the matches of the second and third rounds of the group stage. On the field will return the main players who did not go out in the match against Belgium. Maybe Fabian Delf, who flew to England to his wife, who gave birth to him, will not play.
