Adam Lallana has made a verbal gaffe on a community visit to a favella in Rio.
The player made the comments as the England squad visited Rochina, one of Brazil’s most populated slums.
Lallana, who has been a recent target of Liverpool was joined on the trip with Daniel Welbeck, Daniel Sturridge and Jack Wilshere.
The 26 year old stated to the Guardian.
“To be around players like us may be a life-changing experience for them,” said the Southampton midfielder.
“I didn’t really know what to expect,” Lallana stated.
“People said there were 100,000 people living in the favelas. That’s a lot of people. But looking at this backdrop, you can see exactly why. They get on with their lives. It’s probably normal for them.”
