DOHA: Although England was knocked out from the ongoing FIFA World Cup in the quarter final, Kyle Walker and John Stones of Manchester City didn't want to leave Qatar completely empty-handed. As a result, they will be bringing home a stray cat they found at their training facility.

The cat, who Stones named Dave, will have to spend four months in quarantine before he can be reunited with Walker and Stones.

"He was just there one day, so we’ve just adopted him, me and Stonesy,” Walker said to a media channel.

"Dave is welcome to the table ... Some people really don’t like the cat, but I love him. The first day we got there ... Dave pops out. Every night he sat there waiting for his food,” Stones added.

England was knocked out by France on Saturday, who clinched a gutsy 2-1 quarter-final win.
