Chesterfield defender Laurence Maguire says his 'stomach rumbles with nerves' whenever he watches his brother Harry play for England.

The 24-year-old-who's from Sheffield-will be in the stands at Wembley with the rest of his family when England take on Italy in the final of Euro 2020 on Sunday.

He's expecting a tense evening:

"My mum's really emotional at the games. My sister, brother and my dad are all very similar as well.

"When you see your brother or your son singing the national anthem at the start of a game, it's really emotional.

"We're so proud of what he's doing. He's done really, really well to make it after his injury just before the end of the season."

We asked Laurence how he felt watching England's Euro 2020 semi-final with Denmark on Wednesday:

"When I'm watching Harry, it's usually always a lot of nerves and butterflies, but Wednesday night was something different.

"I couldn't really watch the game; my stomach was rumbling. I'm just go glad England got through."

The final of Euro 2020 at Wembley between England and Italy gets underway at 8pm on Sunday.
