With just one day until the 2026 World Cup kicks off, England have been handed a major injury scare over star forward Bukayo Saka. The Three Lions are set to face Costa Rica in their final warm-up match tonight, but Saka's fitness is now in doubt ahead of their group opener against Croatia next week.
England's World Cup preparations hit by Saka worry
Thomas Tuchel's side are looking to end 60 years of hurt, but the potential loss of Saka would be a significant blow. The Arsenal winger has been a key player for England, and his absence would leave a gap in the attack. The team will hope the injury is not serious and that he can recover in time for the tournament.
Referee denied entry to United States
In a bizarre off-field incident, Somali referee Omar Artan was refused entry to the USA after an 11-hour interview at border control. Artan was scheduled to officiate at the World Cup, but his entry was denied, adding to the pre-tournament drama.
Meanwhile, Scotland are preparing for their opening match against Haiti in the early hours of Sunday morning. The tournament promises to be a thrilling spectacle, with teams from around the world competing for glory.
Stay tuned for more updates throughout the day as the countdown to the World Cup continues.
