The Greek football community is in shock. The news of Baldock's sudden death plunged the country into mourning. The members of the Greek national team - who are currently in London as they're facing England on Thursday night - are struggling to believe the tragic news. Baldock played 12 games for Greece - his last appearance was in March 2023 against Georgia.

The Greek team has asked Uefa to be able to wear black armbands against England, and also to hold a moment of silence before the game.
