Spurs’ Kolo Muani suffers fractured jaw; out of France qualifiers

Kolo Muani exited at half-time versus Manchester United after an aerial clash with Maguire. Initial optimism faded after scans confirmed a jaw fracture, ruling him out of France’s qualifiers against Ukraine and Azerbaijan and depriving Spurs of an in-form starter amid a congested schedule. The forward struggled post-collision, prompting Thomas Frank to withdraw him for Wilson Odobert. France replaced him with Florian Thauvin. Spurs must reconfigure the front line—likely rotating Odobert/Richarlison centrally or elevating Brennan Johnson—while monitoring timelines tied to protection masks and pain management.

Wayne Rooney backs Harry Maguire for England recall

Rooney endorsed Maguire’s return to England duty after the defender headed an 84th-minute winner at Liverpool, arguing he has overcome intense “bullying” and ridicule to reassert himself at Manchester United during a turbulent spell under Rúben Amorim. Maguire regained trust in a back-three role at Anfield, showing aerial dominance and resilience that Rooney believes translate to international level. Rooney admitted pre-match doubts about Amorim’s selection but said the tactical plan vindicated starting Maguire over higher-profile teammates.
