The_Rev Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Do'h! Gareth Southgate was forced into an embarrassing team reshuffle on Wednesday after the Football Association mistakenly registered Michael Keane’s twin brother, Will. Michael, the Manchester United defender, was blocked from playing for the England Under-21s against Wales when FA officials declared an “administrative error” less than an hour before kick-off. The Daily Telegraph has learnt that Keane’s absence from the starting XI was because the FA registered Will, even though the 21-year-old forward was not even selected for Southgate’s squad. Michael — who is expected to join Blackburn Rovers on loan before the weekend — was then dropped from Southgate’s plans, with Chelsea’s Nathaniel Chalobah hastily called up to the centre of England’s defence. Southgate said: “We had an admin error so Michael wasn’t registered. I don’t know exactly why yet, it’s not one I’ve seen before.
