Former Arsenal and Chelsea defender Ashley Cole is set to leave his role as head coach of Serie B side Cesena after managing just eight matches. Following a disastrous spell that saw the club miss out on the play-offs, the Englishman is expected to be sacked when his short-term contract expires at the end of the month, ending a miserable first managerial stint in Italy.

Dan Burn has heaped praise on Jude Bellingham’s emergence as a genuine leader within the England squad, jokingly questioning the Real Madrid superstar's age in the process. The Newcastle United defender believes the midfielder’s influence is now on par with captain Harry Kane as the Three Lions hunt for World Cup glory.

Declan Rice has revealed he has been playing through secret "neural pain" since December, but insists he is fully fit for England’s second World Cup group game against Ghana. The Arsenal midfielder was seen nursing his hamstring during the Three Lions' 4-2 victory over Croatia, sparking fears that Thomas Tuchel could be without one of his most vital assets.

Arsenal's set-piece revolution shows the masterplan behind their dominance has now gone international. While the Gunners' prowess from dead-ball situations has been a hallmark of Mikel Arteta's tactical setup, it is the specific transformation of Declan Rice into a corner-kick specialist that is currently paying dividends for both club and country.
