England: Pickford; Trent, Quansah, Burn, Hall; Rice, Anderson; Rogers, Jude, Gordon; Kane. Jude will miss the Spain game if booked. Trent gets another chance to impress. White reception if he comes on will be interesting. Live coverage @TimesSport thetimes.com/sport/football/…

🚨 Ezri Konsa won't play for England vs Croatia on Thursday, with James Hill called up. Konsa played for Arsenal last weekend but is training individually. He's expected to return to full training before Sunday's game vs Spain. Hill, the Bournemouth CB, earns his first call-up.

Ben White says fans would not boo him if they knew the "full story" behind his England struggles/hiatus during the Gareth Southgate era. Arsenal defender, who controversially left 2022 World Cup camp, added he would not do anything differently @TimesSport thetimes.com/sport/football/…

Sage looking like the first casualty. Mentioned this on The Game pod last week that it's evident that recruitment has not helped him, with some big departures, but Palace - like Sunderland - are not helped by SCR either. PL limit of 85% of revenue is tough enough but lower it to 70%, for Uefa too, and sustaining a squad that can compete in PL is difficult for clubs of that size. You have to be exceptional; ie Bournemouth + Brighton. It's not just the extra games that Europe brings, it's the financial squeeze too (in a PL context).
