| Live Draw Sgp England players won't be allowed to take medicals for club transfers during the World Cup camp in Russia. A number of Gareth Southgate's squad including Stoke goalkeeper Jack Butland and Spurs defender Danny Rose could be on the move this summer and there won't be a ban on agents visiting the team hotel on days off. But unlike St George's Park which has been used for medicals on transfer deadline day, Southgate has decided that would be a step too far while his players are representing their country at a major tournament. <u>England players will be unable to undertake medicals once they arrive at the World Cup camp</u> <u>RELATED ARTICLES</u> Previous 1 Next Kieran Tierney enjoys outstanding display in Celtic's...

We have done it at SGP because it allows them to put that to bed on deadline day, but I don't think that will be happening during the World Cup with us,' he said. The FA have also drawn up a protocol should any allegations of racism arise in Russia, though Southgate was quick to say he hoped for a "festival of football". <b>Danny Rose is among those in the squad who have been linked with a summer transfer</b> If the worst-case scenario did happen and an England player was subject to abuse, Southgate said: 'The most important thing is that internally we are able to support our players and they understand how their team-mates and staff are going to go about that. 'There are some sessions we will do with them about that and then there is the official protocol to be followed. As a federation I think we would be strong in pushing for the right solutions within that. So we have everything in place but most importantly is internally the players feel they have that level of support.' <u>RELATED ARTICLES</u> Previous 1 Next Kieran Tierney enjoys outstanding display in Celtic's...
