Spain's Marc Cucurella, the Real Madrid defender, expressed his understanding of England's Harry Kane winning the Ballon d'Or, but he would have preferred it to go to France's Kylian Mbappé or the young Spaniard Lamine Yamal, his team-mates at club and international level respectively.
Lamine Yamal has arrived at the Spain national team's training camp in Las Rozas, in preparation for the clash against England, scheduled for Sunday at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano stadium, after he missed the previous match against the Czech Republic as a precaution. He is now ready to join his team-mates under the leadership of coach Luis de la Fuente in the decisive encounter for top spot in the group.
Luka Modric has led the tributes to Harry Kane after the England captain officially became his country's most-capped men’s player of all time. The Bayern Munich striker reached the historic milestone of 126 caps during Thursday’s victory over Croatia, surpassing the long-standing record held by legendary goalkeeper Peter Shilton.
Phil Foden has lost his spark at Manchester City and regular role in the England squad, with former Three Lions international Darren Bent telling GOAL why he is “worried” about the out-of-sorts playmaker. It is being suggested that the 26-year-old midfielder could benefit from a fresh start, with a transfer being encouraged ahead of windows opening in 2027.
