[Saba Sports News] According to British media, England midfielder Declan Rice landed in a spot of trouble ahead of the World Cup. It was no disciplinary issue, though — he got a telling-off from his mother after getting sunburnt during the official World Cup photo shoot in Florida. Rice admitted he struggled to adapt to the sunshine and weather after arriving at the training base in Florida. “When did I realise I’d had too much sun? When the sunburn showed up!” he joked. “I think everyone has seen the photos. My face was bright red in the official shots, and my mum gave me a right telling-off. To be honest, the biggest challenge on my first day in the US was getting used to the heat. Coming from England’s changeable, up-and-down weather to constant temperatures around 30 degrees Celsius here really caught me off guard.” Rice was granted an extra week of leave due to his participation in the Champions League final. Even so, he said he cannot wait to rejoin the England training camp.
The editor believes that winning the Premier League title has boosted Declan Rice’s confidence, and he has joined the England national team in great spirits. Having claimed the league crown with Arsenal, he believes England can also achieve great things at the World Cup. He is truly in top form right now.
