Dubravka out to floor Geordie mates

- CHARLIE GORDON

MARTIN DUBRAVKA cannot wait to face England in the last 16 of Euro 2024.

The Newcastle goalkeeper and his Slovakia team-mates advanced to the knockout stages as one of the four best thirdplace teams following a 1-1 draw with Romania on Wednesday.

Georgia's win over Portugal later in the evening put Slovakia on course to meet England in Gelsenkirchen this weekend.

Rather than shy away from facing one of the tournament favourites, Dubravka is looking forward to facing Newcastle team-mates Anthony Gordon and Kieran Trippier.
