    Harry Kane was left out of England’s match against Japan after picking up a minor issue in training. The striker remained with the squad for assessment, but Thomas Tuchel chose not to risk him in a camp already hit by multiple withdrawals. England said Kane was being rested as a precaution rather than sent back to Bayern Munich immediately. His absence forced Tuchel into a different attacking setup, with England starting without a recognised central striker and using a more fluid front line instead.

    Manuel Neuer is reportedly close to returning from his calf injury, with hopes rising that he could be available for Bayern Munich’s Champions League tie against Real Madrid. His comeback would be a major boost after another interruption in a season shaped by recurring muscle issues.

His workload is expected to be managed carefully even if he is deemed fit enough to return.

The defender was absent from training as Ecuador prepared for their next match against the Netherlands.

    Dejan Kulusevski has undergone another knee operation, extending an already long absence that has kept him out for the entire 2025-26 season so far. The Tottenham winger said little about timing and avoided setting any return date as he continues rehabilitation.

    Dejan Kulusevski will link up with Sweden’s camp despite still being sidelined, with Graham Potter wanting the Tottenham forward around the squad for morale and support. He is not expected to play, but his presence is viewed as useful during a high-pressure international window.

    Gennaro Gattuso confirmed Federico Chiesa left Italy’s camp before the playoff against Northern Ireland after reporting minor physical issues and doubts over his readiness. The decision removes one of Italy’s most experienced wide options from a match carrying huge pressure and qualification stakes. Gattuso said Chiesa’s condition and mindset did not justify keeping him with the squad, adding that the choice was taken together. Italy are now focusing fully on the playoff, with the coach stressing calmness, positivity and the need to avoid another World Cup qualifying collapse

    March 2026

    William Saliba has withdrawn from the France squad because of recurring pain in his left ankle, forcing him out of the upcoming friendlies in the United States. Crystal Palace defender Maxence Lacroix has been called up as his replacement for a first senior international selection. Saliba played the full 90 minutes in Arsenal’s Carabao Cup final defeat before the French federation decided the issue required treatment and at least 10 days of rest. Lacroix’s call-up rewards a strong club season and gives France a fresh defensive option before the World Cup.

    Dusan Vlahovic has returned to the Juventus squad for the first time in more than 100 days after passing a late fitness test. Khephren Thuram is also back in the group, while Edon Zhegrova has been included despite fresh muscle fatigue concerns. Vlahovic felt discomfort in final training and needed a decisive check on matchday before being cleared for selection. Thuram recovered enough after his recent ankle issue, while Zhegrova remains under close medical supervision and may only be fit enough for a place on the bench.
