Roy Keane has questioned Chelsea trio Billy Gilmour, Mason Mount and Ben Chilwell after a positive Covid-19 test result for Scotland’s Gilmour after the match with England.

Gilmour had a chat with Chelsea teammates Mount and Chilwell after the 0-0 draw at Wembley, which means Scotland can qualify for the last 16 of Euro 2020 with a win over Croatia tonight. But Gilmour has been diagnosed with Covid-19, ruling him out the match.

Mount and Chilwell will miss England’s final Group D match with Czech Republic and following last 16 tie as they are deemed close contacts of their Chelsea friend, Premier League legend Keane saying (ITV): “The only thing I’d be critical of is why would you want to speak to an opposition player – and I don’t care if he’s your team-mate – for over 20 minutes?

“I very rarely speak to anyone for over five minutes. After a game when you’ve just went to war with somebody, why would you want to chat to somebody for that long? They could’ve used more common sense.”
