England news: Quansah ruled out

Jarell Quansah will sit out England's World Cup qualifying match against Latvia due to injury and the player – who did not take part in the national team's three-nil friendly win over the Welsh team at Wembley Stadium – will head back to his club the Bundesliga club.

He has been a regular in the team's defence this season but England said no additional squad replacements were planned for the qualifier in the Latvian capital on Tuesday.

The English side could earn a place for next year's FIFA World Cup with two matches to spare if they beat their opponents on this Tuesday and results elsewhere in their qualifying group go their way.

Preamble

This is do or die for Ireland, though their hopes of reaching the World Cup may already be finished. A familiar face in the Portuguese star awaits them, and Portugal are leading of their group. At Sporting Club’s stadium, Ireland confront a enormous challenge.

Our other main focus will be European champion Spain, who have triumphed in all their matches so far in their group, against Georgia, who have never qualified for a finals and are aiming for the playoffs. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has been a question and the Premier League club fans will get a opportunity to see the Georgian goalkeeper.
