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.

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.

OLIVER HOLT AT WEMBLEY STADIUM: There are‚ apparently‚ 82 days until England begin their World Cup campaign against Croatia in Dallas on June 17. After this dirge of a football match‚ it was tempting to view them not as opportunity to hone a challenge but as a stay of execution. This was a dour night at Wembley‚ typified by the fact that England's goal‚ nine minutes from time‚ was met with a crescendo of boos when it became clear the ball had been prodded over the line by Ben White‚ recalled to the squad after walking out on England at the 2022 World Cup. England as World Cup favourites? Really? This may have been a second team but it was still a performance that did very little to suggest England have any momentum as they head towards the tournament. It is to be hoped Tuesday's match against Japan offers more shoots of hope.

RIATH AL-SAMARRAI AT THE CARDIFF CITY STADIUM: Smoke bombs and flares in an away end can make for a striking visual‚ but nothing burns quite like the déjà vu of a near miss. For the Welsh‚ a second major championship in succession has been lost to the dramatic agonies of a penalty shootout. Precisely two years since they lost to Poland by such means in a play-off for Euro 2024‚ they were edged by the Bosnians here in pursuit of the World Cup. A skied effort from Brennan Johnson and a saved one off the boot of Neco Williams proved decisive. Instead of a date with the Italians at this ground on Tuesday‚ they will now have to process a truly galling end to their campaign.
