    Christian Eriksen collapsed during Denmark’s friendly against Ukraine in Odense, forcing the match to be abandoned. The Danish FA said the midfielder was conscious, doing well and able to walk from the pitch before further hospital checks.

    Team doctor Morten Boesen said Eriksen’s ICD appeared to respond as expected after he briefly lost consciousness. Players from both teams formed a protective ring around him, echoing the scenes from his Euro 2020 cardiac arrest.

    Iraq forward Aymen Hussein was reportedly questioned for almost seven hours by U.S. immigration officials after arriving in Chicago with the national team. He was eventually admitted, while Iraq’s team photographer was denied entry.

    U.S. Customs and Border Protection said two travellers underwent additional inspection during routine admissibility checks. Iraq are preparing for a warm-up against Venezuela before opening their World Cup campaign against Norway in Foxborough.

    Moise Bombito is set to miss the World Cup after Canada decided he was not fit enough following his recovery from a broken leg. The Nice centre-back had only recently returned for limited minutes against Uzbekistan.

    Canada said Bombito had not suffered a new injury, but his leg reacted after match action and raised long-term health concerns. Ralph Priso is the likely replacement, while Luc de Fougerolles may take on a larger defensive role.

    Brazil full-back Wesley has been ruled out of the World Cup with a left thigh adductor injury. Carlo Ancelotti called up Atalanta midfielder Ederson, who is expected to complete his Manchester United move after the tournament.

    Wesley left the Egypt friendly in tears after only 15 minutes, forcing Brazil to rethink their right-back plan. Ederson’s addition also balances the squad, giving Ancelotti another midfield option if he moves away from a 4-2-4 shape.

    Inter Milan have reportedly submitted an offer for Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones, but the bid is currently below the Reds’ valuation. The 25-year-old has emerged as a Serie A target during Liverpool’s summer reset.

    Liverpool are assessing their squad under Andoni Iraola and may need midfield decisions before the window fully accelerates. Inter’s opening move creates a live negotiation point, but the gap in valuation means no quick agreement is expected.

    Declan Rice will be England’s vice-captain at the World Cup, according to Thomas Tuchel. The Arsenal midfielder has 72 caps and is expected to be one of the senior leaders behind captain Harry Kane.

    Tuchel said Rice had already taken the armband when Kane was absent earlier in his reign. Rice has now joined England’s United States camp with Bukayo Saka, Noni Madueke and Eberechi Eze after Arsenal’s European campaign.

    Nine people were injured in a shooting near England’s World Cup base in Kansas City early on Saturday. Police were called to Troost Avenue, about seven kilometres from Swope Soccer Village, with no life-threatening injuries reported.

    England are still in Florida after beating New Zealand and will travel to Kansas City after their Costa Rica friendly. The incident adds security attention around a city also hosting Argentina, Algeria and the Netherlands during the tournament.

    Feyenoord sacked Robin van Persie after just 16 months in charge, despite finishing second in the Eredivisie and qualifying for the Champions League. The former striker leaves after one full season managing his boyhood club.

    Technical director Devy Rigaux praised Van Persie’s effort but said an internal review showed a declining trend in points and playing style. Feyenoord finished 19 points behind PSV and will now start next season with a new coach.

    Portugal beat Chile 2-1 in a pre-World Cup friendly, but Rafael Leao’s red card became the main talking point. Bruno Fernandes scored after Goncalo Guedes opened the scoring, while Lucas Cepeda struck late for Chile.

    Leao was dismissed for swiping at Ivan Roman during a first-half scuffle, with both players sent off. FIFA could still review the violent-conduct offence, though Portugal expect any ban to affect only their final warm-up.

    Brighton agreed a £21.5 million deal to sign AIK Stockholm winger Zadok Yohanna when the summer window opens. The 18-year-old will join on a five-year contract after scoring five goals and adding four assists in Sweden.

    Fabian Hurzeler said Yohanna has the creativity to affect games in the final third but will need time to adapt. Brighton are investing early in another young attacker before rivals can push the price higher.
