FC Milsami Orhei Overview

Real Madrid legend Toni Kroos has jumped to the defence of Jude Bellingham, hailing the Englishman as one of the most complete players in world football. The former Germany international spoke out following a wave of criticism directed at the midfielder during a challenging period at the Bernabeu.

England manager Thomas Tuchel has indicated that winger Bukayo Saka is unlikely to start the upcoming World Cup encounter against Ghana. Despite making a goal-scoring impact from the bench during the opening victory over Croatia, the Arsenal attacker continues to have his minutes carefully managed due to an ongoing Achilles issue.

Roy Keane has criticised players' partners for wearing personalised shirts during the World Cup. The former Manchester United captain labelled the trend "ridiculous", while Ian Wright defended the gesture as a simple show of support for loved ones competing on football's biggest stage.

Ivan Toney staked his claim for a starting berth by netting a clinical hat-trick during England’s convincing 5-1 behind-closed-doors victory over Sporting Kansas City. The training fixture was specifically arranged at the team's base camp to maintain match fitness and sharpness among the squad's fringe players.
