The star‚ who joined the Blues in a £108million move in 2023‚ first raised eyebrows after the team's Champions League exit to Paris Saint-Germain ‚ insisting he does not know what will happen this summer. And while on international duty with his country‚ he once again hinted at a Chelsea exit when‚ in a livestream with channel SpiderCARP‚ he was asked which other city he would like to live in. He replied: 'Madrid... I like Madrid very much... it's similar to Buenos Aires.'

The full 48-team line-up for this summer's FIFA World Cup was officially confirmed on Tuesday as the final six nations at the finals through play-off ties. DR Congo and Iraq were the last two teams to book their place in the 2026 edition of the tournament‚ set to be staged in the United States‚ Canada and Mexico from June 11 to July 19. The final four European spots were also confirmed on Tuesday‚ with Turkey‚ Sweden‚ the Czech Republic and Bosnia-Herzegovina qualifying at the expense of Kosovo‚ Poland‚ Denmark and Italy.

Foden faces England axe as Tuchel delivers bleak assessment - ‘So good in training'

Graham Potter's side were in ecstasy when they beat Poland on Tuesday night‚ courtesy of Viktor Gyokeres' 88th-minute winner. The scenes after were heartwarming - and Potter was chuffed. 'We weren't perfect‚ but who cares?' he said. 'We're going to the World Cup‚ baby. Wow.' That's one way to describe it. In qualifying‚ Sweden picked up two points from their six games - four defeats and two draws - and finished rock bottom of their group and North America seemed a mile away.

CRAIG HOPE: It was the face Thomas Tuchel twisted‚ as much as the words he spoke‚ that told you Phil Foden's World Cup hopes are disappearing into a hole as deep and dark as the one he inhabits every time he plays for England. False nine? False 10? It's all a false economy with the 25-year-old‚ because the cost to the team is simply too high. What a shame that is‚ for talent is not the issue here. Tuchel wishes it was different. He likes Foden. He wants him to be good. The problem‚ for England‚ is that he very rarely has been. With 48 caps as a weighty body of evidence‚ allowing him to raise his bat for an unremarkable half century this summer feels like a risk no longer worth taking.
