We will have more England squad news to follow.
Harry Maguire and Kobbie Mainoo have been recalled to the England squad for the upcoming Wembley friendlies against Uruguay and Japan, Thomas Tuchel rewarding them for their excellent form at Manchester United. The England manager has also given a first call-up to Everton’s James Garner and recalled Lewis Hall of Newcastle, Leeds’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Tottenham’s Dominic Solanke. Tuchel has picked a larger-than-normal squad of 35 players in order to manage their minutes at a critical stage of the season. It is the last squad he will name before he does so for the World Cup in the summer.
Here’s a message from Krishnamoorthy:
Will the Premier League teams make a clean sweep of the European trophies? As of now I am confident only about the Europa League. My trust is not with Villa but with the serial winner Unai Emery.
A Premier League clean sweep looks unlikely after last round’s showing. The top teams from elsewhere in Europe have a decisiveness in key moments that some of the Premier League teams lack. I don’t see Liverpool beating PSG or Nottingham Forest beating Porto in the next round.
