IAN LADYMAN: Thomas Tuchel has admitted that the mass withdrawal of Arsenal players from international camps looks 'suspicious' but is adamant that England duo Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka are genuinely too injured to feature against Japan at Wembley on Tuesday night. Rice and Saka have returned to their club without kicking a ball for England after reporting for duty to watch last Friday's draw with Uruguay. The duo were part of a group of players given time off for that game but were originally expected to play tomorrow. But both players left camp over the weekend along with club mate Noni Madueke‚ who was injured during the Uruguay game. This took the number of Arsenal players to have left national team meet-ups around the world to eleven‚ raising eyebrows give the Gunners have just lost the Carabao Cup final to Manchester City and have a Champions League first leg against Sporting Lisbon to play next Tuesday.

CHRIS WHEELER: Michael Owen has warned that the Manchester United hierarchy would be 'lynched' if they got rid of Michael Carrick at the end of the season and his replacement flopped at Old Trafford. Carrick has made a strong case to stay in charge after winning seven and drawing two of his first 10 games in charge to put United within touching distance of a Champions League place. Owen is 'astounded' that some people like Roy Keane and Gary Neville have reservations over his old team-mate landing the job on a permanent basis after a string of unsuccessful appointments since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013.
