Twain realized that luck had slowly been slipping away from his team ever since their loss to Wales. The number of players who would not be able to play in the match against Sweden had just increased to three. Bentley, George Wood, and Walcott have all picked up an injury and were all ruled out of the match.
Walcott had sprained his ankle and was definitely not going to be able to play in both the round-16 match and the quarter-finals.
Fortunately for Twain, he had brought three right midfielders along with him for the Euro Cup. The media might have heavily criticized this action of his in the past, but now it had become England's salvation because they did not need to worry about which player would have to play out of position and play as a right midfielder instead.
