(Reuters) - England winger Jadon Sancho and striker Tammy Abraham will return for Sunday's Nations League game against Belgium after missing the friendly against Wales due to a breach of COVID-19 regulations, manager Gareth Southgate said on Saturday.
Sancho and left back Ben Chilwell attended a party for Abraham's 23rd birthday in London on Oct. 3 and missed Thursday's 3-0 friendly win over Wales for breaching health protocols.
Southgate confirmed Sancho and Abraham were back in training but Chilwell is unwell ahead of the game at Wembley. "Ben will be tested on Saturday and we'll have to wait for the results of that on Sunday and then we can make a decision from there."
