Premier League, Champions League, La Liga, Serie A and Bundesliga
The match is behind closed doors, with 100 England fans and local children let in. Both sides are on three points, and Tuchel says it feels like a cup game.
Ronaldo left the camp on Wednesday. On Thursday Ramos scored and set one up, Fernandes created two goals, and Portugal stayed perfect in Group A4.
October 2, 2026 14:20
Germany had 16 shots to none before half-time in Munich. Bischof scored on 39 minutes from Wirtz's rebound, and Wirtz, wearing the armband, added the second. Serbia are still without a point.
Ronaldo left the camp in Copenhagen on Wednesday after Jorge Jesus said Gonçalo Ramos would start. He promises to explain why, and has not announced an international retirement.
Schlotterbeck is out, Kimmich has left as planned, and the armband goes to whichever player on the pitch has the most caps.
Kane's deal runs to June 2027 and he says the talks are close. His father and brother are negotiating with Jan-Christian Dreesen, and reports say the length is still being discussed.
September 30, 2026 14:46
The league has published the Commission's decision: all the financial charges proved, and three of the four on co-operation. City call it unsafe and say they will appeal. No sanction has been set, and there is no date yet for the hearing that will decide it.
September 30, 2026 11:30
Pavel Šulc's red card changed the game, and Trent Alexander-Arnold, on his first start under Tuchel, made the goal that broke Czechia two minutes after half-time.
Both sides lost on Saturday. England are without Nico O'Reilly in Prague, and Czechia get their captain Ladislav Krejčí back but lose Vladimír Coufal.
Liverpool will assess Gakpo's ankle after he was forced off in Belgrade, and neither the club nor the KNVB has given a timescale. Isak is also back from international duty with a thigh problem.
Zidane made nine changes without the injured Mbappé, and it still took a substitute's run from halfway to beat Mark van Bommel's Belgium 1-0. France have six points from two games.
United will assess Dorgu after he went off against Wales, while Jorge Jesus rested Fernandes in Oslo and wants him fit for Denmark.
Zidane has promised changes and Dembélé may be rested. Belgium are without Courtois, Doku and Trossard, but won 2-0 in Rome on Friday under their new coach.
News, trade rumors and analysis across the league
John Konchar lasted two weeks on his camp deal. His place in the race for New York's last roster spot went to a center Mike Brown says has hurt the Knicks before.

The Warriors announced it on Friday without terms. ESPN reports $55.7 million for 2027-28 and a $60.2 million player option for 2028-29, about $20 million below the two-year maximum he was offered.

Towns can ask for up to $276 million over four years. SNY reports the Knicks have discussed deals starting at $45 million to $50 million a year, and the New York Post says they want a discount.
