    Liam Delap is set for direct talks with England boss Thomas Tuchel, who wants to spell out the benchmarks the Chelsea striker must hit to earn a first senior call-up before the World Cup, with only Harry Kane guaranteed a striking spot. Delap impressed for Ipswich before a £30m move to Chelsea but injuries, a red card and limited end product have stalled his progress while Joao Pedro has flourished, leaving Tuchel ready to challenge him to deliver a strong second half of the season to enter contention.

    Arsenal
    In the build up to this week’s Premier League shareholders’ meeting and planned salary cap vote

    Arsenal have shifted from strong backing of a Premier League salary cap to a more cautious stance after the exit of executive Tim Lewis, leaving the proposal short of firm support just as clubs prepare to vote on anchoring wage bills.
    The plan would tie maximum wage spending to five times the revenue of the bottom club, which critics say could weaken English giants in Europe and face legal challenges from players and clubs, putting Friday’s shareholders’ vote and the whole project in doubt.

    Phil Foden has been warned he is the attacking midfielder most vulnerable to missing England’s World Cup squad, with Jude Bellingham backed to travel after returning to the team and impressing, even as his visible frustration at being substituted in Albania drew fresh scrutiny. Tuchel has hesitated to start Foden, Bellingham and Harry Kane together, fearing three central playmakers crowd the same spaces. Foden has provided flashes and an assist for Eberechi Eze but has mostly come from the bench, raising questions over how long he will tolerate a rotation role.

    Carlo Ancelotti has made clear that Neymar still has a path to the 2026 World Cup but warned he will not gamble on reputation alone, stressing that the forward’s selection depends entirely on proving form and fitness after an injury-hit spell back at Santos. Neymar has not played for Brazil since tearing knee ligaments against Uruguay in 2023, later terminating his Al-Hilal deal before rejoining Santos. Ancelotti says the playmaker has six months of football to show consistent quality and physical condition before he finalises his World Cup squad.

    Kylian Mbappe is pursuing a labour court case in Paris claiming Paris Saint Germain owe him around 55 million euros in unpaid wages and bonuses from the final months of his contract, despite his departure from the club in the summer of 2024. His legal team is asking for reclassification of his fixed term deal as permanent and alleging non execution of contract for the last three months, while PSG must explain why they withheld payments, in a highly unusual dispute that skips conciliation and goes straight to a full tribunal judgment.
