Djurgarden and the dodgy pitch. Ball doesn’t really seem to bounce very much in certain areas. Not ideal for a European semi-final

Ridiculously good free-kick from Reece James has England 1-0 up at Wembley. Much-needed, too, because they've been labouring against a very deep Latvia in open play

The Thomas Tuchel era begins. Huge numbers of Albanian fans on Wembley Way.

Chelsea vs Leicester. No Reece James in the squad because of illness. Not sure he would have started anyway given the turnaround and caution with his workload

“We’re not affected by it in the UK but I feel the pain that they’re feeling and I feel like it’s my responsibility, in a more privileged position, to help.”

Maresca: "Chalobah was not serious so he’s okay. Benoit is back, trained with us in the last week or ten days. Wes is not in the squad but also he is back. Romeo started to train with us in the last two days. Slowly, slowly we have all the players back for the final rush of the season."
