Danish coach sacked by Japan despite Asian Cup win

Ghana are close to appointing former Germany head coach Joachim Low as their new boss‚ according to reports. The Black Stars have been left without a manager just 75 days before their first World Cup group game with Panama on June 18‚ after Ghanaian bosses sacked Otto Addo following a dire run of four defeats in a row. Ghana were beaten 2-1 by Germany in Stuttgart on Monday night‚ having been thrashed 5-1 by Austria on Friday. That followed defeats by Japan and South Korea in their November friendlies. It seems Ghana's crisis may now be over‚ though reports from the country suggest that Low‚ who led Germany to the World Cup in 2014‚ is set to take over the African side ahead of the tournament.

Real Madrid are reportedly upset with England's handling of Jude Bellingham during the international break‚ after the midfielder sat out of the Three Lions friendlies with Uruguay and Japan. Bellingham‚ 22‚ has been fighting for fitness after injuring his hamstring in early February‚ and only managed a brief cameo off the bench in Los Blancos' derby day victory over Atletico Madrid two weeks ago. Nevertheless‚ England head coach Thomas Tuchel opted to call up the not fully recovered Bellingham to his expanded 35-man squad for the final international camp before he chooses his cohort for this summer's World Cup in North America. The midfielder trained with his team-mates ahead of both the 1-1 draw to Uruguay at Wembley and Tuesday's shock 1-0 defeat to Japan‚ but did not play a single minute in either game.

JACK GAUGHAN: Seventy-seven days until a clash with Croatia in Dallas and the battle for a small number of spots within Thomas Tuchel's England squad has yet to reach a definitive conclusion. The draw against Uruguay and defeat by Japan should focus minds ahead of the season run-in‚ when a few still remain on trial before Tuchel announces his 26 heading off to the World Cup. Tuchel experimented with different players and gave new caps across the two friendlies and opinions on who should make the squad will vary wildly up and down the country. Here‚ Daily Mail Sport looks at the runners and riders‚ who is certain of their spot among our picks and which talents are nervously looking over their shoulders.

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.
