Thomas Tuchel is set to announce his squad for England’s next round of international matches this morning.

The Three Lions seemed to finally deliver on Tuchel’s vision in the September break, following up a drab 2-0 win over Andorra with an emphatic 5-0 thrashing of Serbia on their own turf.

They’ll hope to build on that momentum this month as they play host to Wales in an international friendly on 9 October, before resuming their World Cup qualifying campaign in Latvia on 14 October.

Having missed out on Tuchel’s last squad, Manchester City’s Phil Foden is in line to be recalled after kicking into gear in recent weeks, while Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka should be also included again after recovering from injury. Jude Bellingham is also up for reselection after recovering from shoulder surgery that saw him miss the start of the season.

Fabio Capello makes embarrassing gaffe when presenting Sarina Wiegman award at Ballon d’Or

Former England manager Fabio Capello mispronounced Sarina Wiegman’s name when awarding the Lionesses boss the Johan Cruyff trophy for best women’s coach at the Ballon d’Or awards.

As he read out the winner of the award, Capello announced the Dutch coach’s name as ‘Sabrina Wiegman’ before the Lionesses manager came onto the stage to accept the trophy at the Theatre du Chatelet in Paris.

Wiegman led England to a second consecutive Euros title in Switzerland this summer, as well as her third Euros title in a row as coach, as the Lionesses defeated Spain on penalties.

Harry Kane calls on England to use Serbia demolition as template for World Cup

England captain Harry Kane said their 5-0 demolition of Serbia should be the template for how they want to play at the World Cup following criticism of Thomas Tuchel's start to life as Three Lions boss.

"This is the time when the competition starts, the formation and the way we play and the style is going to be set in stone," he said.

"Of course, there might be a few games where we have to change a little bit depending on opposition, but we want to play our way - we want to be on the front foot and win the ball back quick and when we lose the ball, recover well.

"You could say that was the perfect template and we're going to have difficult games from now until the World Cup but we'll use this as a starting point and the standard's been really high."
