Neurosurgeon on ‘frail’ Michael Schumacher’s frail public appearance

A top neurosurgeon has questioned reports that F1 legend Michael Schumacher made a rare public appearance to attend his daughter’s wedding. Schumacher’s daughter Gina (pictured left) tied the knot with her boyfriend Iain Bethke (pictured right) at the family’s luxury £27m villa in Majorca last month.

‘I owe him now, yeah, I think he’ll be saying that to me.’

Declan Rice added a third goal for England six minutes from time before Arttu Hoskonen got a consolation for the hosts.

Grealish has backed Lee Carsley, who had come under criticism for his tactics in the 2-1 defeat by Greece.

‘Whatever happens with the England manager, people will always . ay negative stuff, he said.

‘Before people were crying out for all attacking players to play and it didn’t work. I don’t get it, it can happen in games.

‘I love coming here, a top, top manager and I love playing for him.’

Grealish also praised Gomes after his goal was assisted by the midfielder. He added: ‘We could have had a few more but it was difficult at times,’ he said.

‘The goal came from the manager letting us play with that freedom. I play with Angel Gomes in training and I know what a top player he is. The celebration was for my little daughter.’
