The Norwegian left the Emirates with his left knee in a brace following a collision with Crysencio Summerville before half-time. Declan Rice, who scored Arsenal’s opener against his former club, was also forced off in the second half with a back problem, casting doubt on his availability for England’s upcoming fixtures against Wales and Latvia. “He had a clash knee-to-knee and immediately felt uncomfortable,” Arteta said. “He’s not positive about…

Thomas Tuchel has ignored Jude Bellingham’s request to join the latest England squad, proving he values the bigger picture. The German coach looks beyond the Real Madrid superstar to assemble the strongest team.

Brentford are in the middle of a transition that could have destabilised a lesser club. The departure of Thomas Frank to Tottenham and the loss of key players such as Bryan Mbeumo, Yoane Wissa, Christian Nørgaard and goalkeeper Mark Flekken might have stripped the team of its core. Instead, Brentford’s framework – a blend of data-led recruitment, strong club structures and an emphasis on set-piece efficiency – is holding firm under new head coach Keith Andrews. Andrews, once Frank’s set-piece specialist, has leaned into Brentford’s awkward, combative style, while injecting his own pragmatic edge. Set plays remain central, with long…
