England chiefs have summoned FIFA to review the tussle which resulted in defender Kyle Walker being gripped around the neck by Poland vice-captain Kamil Glik in Wednesday night’s stalemate.
The on-pitch drama in Poland follows the more sinister scenes in Hungary in England’s previous away match when Raheem Sterling was among those allegedly racially abused.
Sterling and youngster Jude Bellingham were reported to have had monkey noises chanted at them from a large section of the Hungarian home support.
Southgate has come under fire for allowing the Polish side to snatch an equaliser on Wednesday night.
The England manager’s refusal to bring on substitutions in last night’s game arguably led to Poland’s late equaliser.
JUST IN: Southgate explains why late Poland equaliser could be good for England
“There were a couple of moments we looked at it and said: ‘No, we’re doing well, no problem.’
“We were going to refresh the wide players right at the end but that would’ve been to wind the clock down more than anything, but before we could get them in we conceded and it wasn’t a good time to make a change.”
England continue their qualifying campaign in Andorra on October 9, as they look to pull away from the rest of the pack with a win over the minnows.
