Bukayo Saka, Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho [PHOTO COURESY]England striker Marcus Rashford has said sorry for his penalty miss in the Euro 2020 shootout defeat by Italy in the final at Wembley on Sunday but added he "will never apologise for who I am" after being among three players to suffer racist abuse. The racist abuse prompted a police investigation and wide condemnation from England's captain, manager, royalty, religious leaders and politicians. During the long run-up, I was saving myself a bit of time and, unfortunately, the result was not what I wanted. Whilst I continue to say sorry I want to shout out my team mates. This summer has been one of the best camps I've experienced and you've all played a role in that."
