Coming home - but not to work | Today could be RECORD DAY of sickness after Euros semi-final victory

An employment lawyer has said that today could be a record sick day after England’s Harry Kane-inspired Euro 2020 victory against Denmark at Wembley.

For those watching Gareth Southgate’s England heroes – who go into Sunday’s final and past Denmark courtesy of an own goal and a Harry Kane penalty – they might now be nursing a sore head after nearly seven million pints were sunk last night, according to figures from hospitality organisations.

It lead Simon Robinson, Employment Solicitor at law firm Robinson Ralph, to tell the i: “I do think tomorrow will be a record sick day – until next Monday, that is.”

He added that the sheer number of people who celebrated last night could be causing a headache for employers right now.
