ENGLAND VS GERMANY – U21 EUROS FINAL LIVE
The Young Lions booked their spot in the final with a stunning 2-1 win over the Netherlands, with Harvey Elliott scoring a double in the last-4 clash.
England must overcome a Germany side that has already got the better of them once in the Euros this summer.
Antonio Di Salvo’s men beat the Young Lions 2-1 on their way to winning Group B earlier in the competition.
Alex Scott was the man on the scoresheet for England, and he didn’t just catch the spectators’ attention with his close-range finish.
The Bournemouth midfielder has been seen donning an unusual mask during the U21 Euros – SunSport brings you all the information on why.
Why is England star Alex Scott wearing a mask during Under-21 Euros final?
Scott is wearing a specialised mask during the U21 Euros due to a fractured jaw.
The 21-year-old’s injury occurred when he was caught by the elbow of Aston Villa defender Tyrone Mings last month.
He had to wear a chin strap when he came off the bench for the final few seconds of the Cherries’ final day victory over Leicester.
Scott revealed he had a specialised mask designed for this summer’s competition in Slovakia – and he is adamant that it is causing him no issues at all.
The Cherries star said: “It’s honestly been fine. Before I had a different mask, which was a lot tougher to wear.
“I tried it out in a few sessions before we came to Slovakia. Thankfully the staff with England managed to do everything they could to get me a new one fitted.
“I’ve adapted to it well. It gets sweaty so, throughout the games, I try to take it off as much as I can. But it’s been fine.”
Scott has been a mainstay in the England U21s team this summer, starting all but one of the Young Lions’ matches.
The Bristol City academy graduate started the final against Germany alongside Elliot Anderson in midfield but was forced off with an injury late in the first half.
