The Arsenal midfielder reflected on his team's emotional World Cup campaign while expressing excitement over reuniting with former Real Madrid team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo.
Denmark head coach Brian Riemer refused to comment on Christian Eriksen's future following unsolicited retirement advice from Wolfsburg boss Tobias Strobl. The Danish manager also addressed a devastating training injury to striker Kasper Dolberg ahead of their Nations League clash with Norway.
Borussia Dortmund forward Fabio Silva opened up on his long-awaited return to the Portugal national team after a two-year absence. The 24-year-old striker expressed excitement about working under manager Jorge Jesus while insisting that sharing an attacking role with idol Cristiano Ronaldo remains a pure privilege.
Real Madrid star Bernardo Silva was deployed alongside defenders in Jorge Jesus' first training session as Portugal manager. The tactical decision immediately evoked memories of their famous 2014 pre-season experiment together at Benfica.
