    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.

    Benjamin Sesko’s knee scare against Tottenham has eased after scans showed no major ligament damage, but Manchester United still expect their marquee striker to miss up to a month, leaving Joshua Zirkzee as Ruben Amorim’s only natural centre-forward. Dwight Yorke has warned United not to chase short-term stopgaps and instead promote from the under-23s, arguing Amorim should invest minutes in fresh talent rather than repeat past mistakes of panic signings that struggled to cope with Old Trafford’s demands.

    Denmark have told Filip Jorgensen he could start at the 2026 World Cup if he plays more club football this season, with the No.1 spot now up for grabs after Kasper Schmeichel leaked six goals in costly qualifiers against Belarus and Scotland. Jorgensen’s World Cup push is complicated by limited game time at Chelsea, where he has only one league outing and cup starts, while Denmark must still negotiate March playoffs after finishing behind Scotland despite a spirited but chaotic 4-2 defeat at Hampden Park.

    Curacao drew 0-0 with Jamaica to top Group B on 12 points from six games and book their first ever World Cup place, becoming the smallest nation by size and population to qualify for the tournament and surpassing Iceland’s 2018 landmark on the global stage. The achievement caps a remarkable rise since Curacao became a separate country in 2010, climbing from FIFA ranking 150 to 82 and joining Cape Verde, Jordan and Uzbekistan as debutants for 2026, while Jamaica coach Steve McClaren resigned immediately after failing to clinch qualification.

    After a disastrous 2024-25 campaign, Ruben Amorim is reportedly planning to invite legends including Eric Cantona, David Beckham, Paul Scholes, Teddy Sheringham, Andy Cole and Dwight Yorke to guide a rebuilding squad that has stabilised with recent wins and draws. A source says Amorim wants those icons to share stories, standards and pressure handling from the club’s peak years, using their presence to harden younger players mentally, reinforce what it means to represent Manchester United and support a squad already reshaped by new forwards and goalkeeper Senne Lammens.

    Kai Havertz has suffered a minor relapse in his recovery from knee surgery after injuring himself in training following Arsenal’s season opener against Manchester United, extending a stop start year that already included a hamstring layoff and keeping his return date uncertain for club and country. Julian Nagelsmann says Havertz is broadly doing well but needs time to regain rhythm alongside Jamal Musiala, echoing Mikel Arteta’s earlier warning that Arsenal must protect the knee carefully so he can come back for the long term rather than risk repeated breakdowns.

    Brazil finished 2025 frustrated after a 1-1 draw with Tunisia, wasting clear chances and needing an Estevao Willian penalty to cancel out Hazem Mastouri’s opener, before Lucas Paqueta fired a second spot kick over and squandered the chance to seal a comeback win. Carlo Ancelotti said Paqueta was the designated taker and he moved the responsibility from Estevao Willian, to ease pressure on the youngster, while stressing he remains confident in a serious, united squad that must navigate a demanding schedule before the 2026 World Cup.
