Euro 2024 live - Score updates from Belgium vs Slovakia and Shaw injury latest (2024)

Shaw stepping up his recovery

Luke Shaw is stepping up his fitness work after doing a recovery session – even though he did not play against Serbia.

England left back Shaw joined the rest of the players who featured on Sunday night at their training base in Blankenhein for a warm-down and recovery. Shaw did the recovery session because he trained on Sunday even though he did not get changed for the Serbia game because he has not played in four months after a hamstring injury.

There was a hope he could be involved in the second Group C match, but while the medics are happy with his progress, it looks more likely to be later on.

The 12 non-playing substitutes – plus Kobbie Mainoo – took part in a full training session and there were no major injury worries after the Serbia win.

FT: Romania make huge statement

Before today, Romania had managed only one Euros win in their history. The record book can, finally, be altered. And what a way to do it.

Romania were second best in Munich until Nicolae Stanciu's first-half opener. From there, it was big goals and big moments. That Romania came into this tournament with a track record of not scoring many goals (let alone bangers), this group stage opener is quite the statement. They were equal parts energetic and ferocious, deserving winners in Munich.

For Ukraine, it's a heavy defeat, one littered with self-inflicted errors and poor individual performances. They'll need to bounce back from quickly if they are to make it out of the group stages.

ROM 3-0 UKR

A tough afternoon for Mykhailo Mudryk

84': It's been a tough day for Ukraine, and the Chelsea man is no exception. And with a chance to make some semblance of amends with six minutes remaining, Mudryk barrelled down the left on the counter but grandly skied his effort into the yellow wall of the travelling Romania supporters.

It's not a match he'll want to remember.

ROM 3-0 UKR

Romania's #20

Dennis Man might supplied the assists for Romania's first and third goals against Ukraine. A lovely display from the 25-year-old.

And we have a pitch invader....

74': It's fair to say Romania fans are in dreamland with this opening display, so who can blame them if the occasion suddenly takes over their better judgement? One fan seems to have been moved to such an extent by his team's comprehensive display against Ukraine, that he leapt onto the pitch to let Stancui know personally.

A difficult afternoon for Ukraine...

Two goals in four minutes for Romania

GOAL! It's three!

57': Scenes. Romania now have three, with Dennis Man sniping a pass across the face of goal and Denis Drăguș tapping it from close range. It's desperate defending. Ukraine have been ripped apart in Munich.

ROM 3-0 UKR

GOAL! Romania!

53': It's another great strike from distance, this time from Răzvan Marin. It's not great goalkeeping by any stretch of the imagination but Romania won't care. It's 2-0 in Munich!

ROM 2-0 UKR

Beep beep!

And we're back underway in Munich.

ROM 1-0 UKR

A sea of yellow at the Allianz

HT: Romania lead courtesy of Stanciu stunner

What a first half. Anyone who wrote off this match as Monday afternoon fodder might wish to start penning that apology letter.

Ukraine were by far the better side until Stanciu punished a very poor moment from Ukraine's backline on the half-hour mark with a simply splendid bit of skill. Romania found their groove after that, while Ukraine looked increasing rattled. But it's only Stanciu's stunner which separates the two sides. A huge second-half awaits.

Worth remembering...

Romania were undefeated in their qualification campaign, while Ukraine were forced to take the long way to Germany, needing the grace of the playoffs.

And while for half an hour Romania hardly looked like the team who had managed such an impressive qualification campaign, they seem to have come alive now. But this game is far from over.

ROM 1-0 UKR

An unbelievable strike from the Romanian.

GOAL! Romania!

29': It's the goal of the tournament, so far at least. Romania forced Ukraine to turn the ball over in their half and Nicolae Stanciu thundered an outrageous shot into the top left corner. No goalkeeper was saving that.

Romania had far and away been the second-best team thus far, with Ukraine boasting the majority of the possession and the chances. But that means nothing now. One costly error from Ukraine's backline and goalkeeper, one moment of brilliance from Stanciu. Romania lead in Munich!

ROM 1-0 UKR

Ukraine the better side

15': Quarter of an hour gone and Ukraine are enjoying themselves the most. They've had roughly 70% of the possesion and some decent chances to make the most of their dominance. But Romania have shown signs of threat on the counter. An exciting match so far.

ROM 0-0 UKR

KICK-OFF: Romania 0-0 Ukraine

We're underway in Munich to kick-off Monday's triple-header.

Downing Street statement on England violence

A statement from Downing Street says that the violent scenes around England's game against Serbia in Gelsenkirchen "do not reflect the spirit of the tournament."

Seven Serbia fans were arrested after clashes ahead of their opening Euro 2024 fixture, with videos showing that tables, chairs and bottles were thrown before riot police arrived.

A Downing Street spokeswoman said: "The vast majority of travelling England fans were in good spirits ahead of the match, but clearly such scenes are unacceptable and do not reflect the spirit of the tournament."

The spokeswoman also said that UK Prime Minsiter Rishi Sunak was 'delighted' with England's 1-0 win. "He is obviously delighted with a win and with a clean sheet for England's opening game of the Euros," she added.

"It was a strong start to the tournament against tough opponents, lit up by (Jude) Bellingham's performance and his thumping header to get the only goal of the game."

Ten Hag takes aim at Southgate

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag appeared to criticise Gareth Southgate's tactics as he analysed England's 1-0 win against Serbia.

Southgate was among the names heavily linked with the United job should Ten Hag have been sacked this summer.

He told Dutch broadcaster NOS post-match: "It's the vision of the manager.

"England will take a 1-0 lead, then he [Southgate] decides to start gambling with making his team compact and relying on moments for the remaining minutes of the game."

More comments from Ten Hag here.

Southgates backs Kane to produce

Harry Kane had a quiet night against Serbia.

Although the Bayern Munich striker could've made it 2-0 to England if not for a spectacular save from Predrag Rajkovic in the 77th minute, Kane was barely in the game and registered just two touches in the first half.

Gareth Southgate isn't concerned, though, telling BBC Sport: "Today was just the finishing and a good save from the goalkeeper from the (Kane) header at the end.

"But that will come. I'm confident we will score goals. You're playing against a back five. It's not easy to create chances, but we did and in the end one was enough. That's the reality of tournaments."

More reaction from Southgate here.

Scotland legend Hansen 'sounding fabulous'

This is welcome news.

Alan Hansen is now 'sounding fabulous' after being seriously ill in hospital, says former team-mate Graeme Souness.

"I spoke to him yesterday and he sounded fabulous so I hope that's him on the way to a full recovery," Souness revealed on talkSPORT.

"He's definitely back because he did nothing but take the Mickey out of me!"

Serbia boss Stojkovic: We didn't deserve England defeat

"To have the English defending I'm very proud with how the players reacted. We haven't deserved to be defeated but it is what it is.

"We keep going on. We managed to get to where we wanted to get to some more chances ."

- Dragan Stojkovic

Mbappe speaks out against far-right French party

France captain Kylian Mbappe has joined team-mate Marcus Thuram in opposing far-right political party National Rally.

A snap parliamentary election will be held in France on June 30 and July 7.

Speaking yesterday ahead of tonight's game against Austria, Mbappe told a press conference: "I think we are at a crucial moment in the history of our country. That's why I really want to address all the French people and especially the young generation. I think that we are a generation that can make a difference.

"We see very clearly that the extremes are at the gates of power and we have the opportunity to choose the future of our country. This is why I call on all young people to go vote and to become aware of the importance of the situation I hope that my voice will carry as much as possible.

"We need to identify with this country, to identify with our values which are values of tolerance, diversity, and respect. I trust the French, every voice counts. I really hope that we will make the right choice and that we will be proud to wear this jersey on July 7."

Lewandowski expected to face Austira

Poland boss Michal Probierz says that he expects Robert Lewandowski to return from injury in time for Friday's crucial clash with Austria.

Lewandowski, 35, tore a muscle in his thigh during a friendly with Turkey last week, meaning that he missed a tournament match through injury for the first time in his international career.

The Barcelona striker was seen taking part in yesterday's pre-match warmup, suggesting that a return to full training is imminent.

"Robert Lewandowski's rehabilitation is going in the right direction," Probierz said after Poland narrowly lost 2-1 to the Netherlands.

"He should recover for the match against Austria. The same is the case with Pawel Dawidowicz."

Southgate makes 'suffering' admission

"Serbia are a strong team. We had to suffer a bit, which I think is really good for us to come through and to defend our box in the way we did under pressure is important for the group. That's the reality of tournaments.

"We had good chances to extend the lead and kill the game, which we didn't manage to take. I was really pleased with a lot of the play, especially the first half.

"I thought we used the ball really well. Second half we didn't keep it quite as well as we need to but to get the win and the start that we have is really important."

- Gareth Southgate

Bellingham rejects 'ugly win' claim

"There's always an instant negative reaction to the games we play, I think we need to be calm, analyse it for what it is, take the good with the bad and move on to the next game."
