Albania Overview

You could savour the electric atmosphere during this World Cup play-off in Warsaw

Former Chelsea forward Armando Broja became the latest Premier League star to suffer an injury during the November international break after being stretchered off in tears following a leg injury during Albania's World Cup qualifier against England on Sunday. Broja has had a career blighted by several injuries, which halted his progress while being on the books of the Blues.

Ian Wright has hit back at critics of England superstar Jude Bellingham, with the Real Madrid midfielder facing more questions of his supposedly petulant behaviour. The 22-year-old was less than impressed at being replaced during the Three Lions’ final 2026 World Cup qualifier against Albania. Thomas Tuchel has made it clear that he wants everybody in his squad to show “respect” at all times.

Roy Keane is a fan of Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton, but has warned the talented Eagles star that he may be a “bit soft” to nail down a starting berth for England at this stage. Wharton started for the Three Lions in their final 2026 World Cup qualification win over Albania, with Thomas Tuchel’s side completing a faultless campaign with another victory.
