DOUBT 

Callum Wilson misses England training session as ‘precaution’ with ‘minor strain’ ahead of World Cup quarter-final clash against France


Callum Wilson’s participation in England’s clash against France has been placed into doubt with the forward sitting out training on Monday.

The Newcastle forward has been used as a substitute in Qatar, coming on in two separate games, most notably providing an assist to Jack Grealish in the 6-2 win against Iran.

The team that started the 3-0 victory over Senegal were training inside, separate from the group that didn’t play or came on as substitutes, however, Wilson sat out training entirely.

England have said that he has suffered a minor strain and is only missing training as a precaution.

With the squad set for a rest day on Tuesday, he will have a chance to recover from the setback before preparations ramp up.

The quarter-final against France is on Saturday and England will be hoping to welcome back Raheem Sterling, who has travelled back home due to his family home being burgled. Ben White left the camp due to personal reasons.

Wilson’s contributions to England’s World Cup campaign has been limited but it’s drawn praise from former England striker Ian Wright.

“I saw him the other day and told him I admire his unselfishness,” Wright said.

“He comes on in the World Cup, team is 5-1 up. You’re running through. You can score yourself but you square it and give it to Jack Grealish. Callum actually said to me ‘Give and you shall receive’. I hope and pray that his time is coming.”

Wilson was selected as Harry Kane’s back-up forward, Southgate picking him ahead of the likes of Tammy Abraham and Ivan Toney.

The Newcastle forward has had a fine campaign in the Premier League, scoring six goals in 11 appearances.

FIRST DATES  James Maddison jokes Ally McCoist would be RIGHT to let Jude Bellingham date his daughters and keep his granny away from Jack Grealish – but Bukayo Saka would be best son-in-law out of England stars England star James Maddison has responded to Ally McCoist’s hilarious claim that he would let Jude Bellingham date his daughter,s but not let Jack Grealish near his granny. Rangers legend McCoist, who has five son, told talkSPORT on Monday that if he had five daughters instead, they could all go out with Bellingham. The 19-year-old midfielder has  caught the eye  with his maturity on and off the pitch while starring for the Three Lions at the 2022 World Cup. Grealish, on the other hand, is a self-confessed cheeky chappy and  recently admitted  he has a habit of doing ‘stupid’ things. McCoist said: “I just think he’s [Bellingham] unbelievable. I’ve got five boys in the house but if I had five daughters I’d probably let him take them all out at the same ...

SUPPORT   Harry Kane gets brilliant reception from Tottenham fans at Boxing Day clash with Brentford after World Cup penalty miss Tottenham fans loudly showed their support for Harry Kane following his missed penalty for England in Qatar . The 29-year-old was thrown straight back into Antonio Conte’s starting XI for  Spurs’ Boxing Day clash away at Brentford . Kane has been subject to harsh criticism after he blazed over his spot-kick against France in the Three Lions’ World Cup quarter-final defeat. He had equalised against Les Bleus from the spot, but with his second attempt late into the match, he spurned a key chance to level the game up at 2-2. It led some fans to question why he was even on penalty duty, despite his stunning record from 12 yards out having missed three out of his 20 penalties for England prior to his France miss. But the Spurs supporters in attendance at the Gtech Community Stadium were fully behind their talismanic striker. They sang in unison, ‘Harry K...
