Ruben Loftus-Cheek has been called up to the England squad, Sky Sports News understands.
There are suggestions that the AC Milan midfielder has been asked to join up by Thomas Tuchel for the World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Serbia this month, following an injury worry over Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton, who came off in their 3-0 win against Aston Villa on Sunday in the Premier League.
The FA are yet to make a statement or any public comment on Loftus-Cheek’s call-up or Wharton’s muscle injury issue.
Loftus-Cheek has played 10 times for England but has not won a cap since November 2018, when he came on as a substitute against the United States. He was called up in March 2019 but withdrew from selection.
Loftus-Cheek reunites with Tuchel, having played under the England head coach at Chelsea. Loftus-Cheek has been at AC Milan since 2023 and has played 70 times for the Serie A side, scoring 11 goals.
The England squad is meeting on Tuesday ahead of facing Andorra on September 6 at Villa Park before travelling to Serbia on September 9.

How TCU social media leaned into Bill Belichick hype: Memes, one-liners and plenty of receipts
TCU had a heckuva time ruining Bill Belichick’s big debut at North Carolina on Monday night. The only one who might’ve had as much fun as the Horned Frog players in Chapel Hill was 32-year-old Sam Lazarus.TCU’s director of football creative media, like the rest of the Horned Frogs, had taken note of how everything surrounding Monday night’s game was about Belichick and his team. Of course, that wasn’t a shock considering that the 73-year-old Belichick, the greatest coach in NFL history, was coaching his first game at the college level. The curiosity factor of that probably even topped what the Horned Frogs faced when they opened up two years ago against Colorado in Deion Sanders’ first FBS game. Still, for a team coming off a nine-win season with most of its top talent returning, the disrespect of being reduced […]

Venus Williams exits US Open in style after age-defying run
Venus Williams' memorable US Open doubles run came to an end with a quarter-final loss at Flushing Meadows.The 45-year-old made an age-defying return to tennis this year, becoming the oldest WTA singles match winner since 2004 in July, and her matches in the women's singles, doubles and mixed doubles made her appointment viewing. Her partnership with Canadian Leylah Fernandez had drawn packed crowds in the first three rounds, and it was the same against top seeds Taylor Townsend and Katerina Siniakova on Louis Armstrong Stadium.

2025 Fantasy football draft strategy: Tiers, cheat sheets, PPR deep sleepers, breakout picks via NFL expert
One of the biggest challenges for Fantasy football managers each season is projecting the roles of rookies. Depth charts offer hints, but real trust develops as the season unfolds, and identifying a few deep fantasy sleepers can give your roster a significant boost. Reliable 2025 Fantasy football rankings can help managers target polarizing prospects like Cam Skattebo, Jaydon Blue, and Jack Bech. Top options such as Josh Allen, Saquon Barkley, Ja'Marr Chase, and Brock Bowers dominate their Fantasy position rankings, but building a strong team comes down to middle- and late-round fantasy strategy. With last-minute 2025 Fantasy football drafts going on the clock, managers are scrambling to lock in early picks and uncover late-round sleepers. In PPR leagues, high-volume receivers are particularly valuable, while running backs tend to be the key to success in standard scoring leagues. Before locking in […]
Benches clear, ejections handed in Giants-Rockies matchup after Rafael Devers homer
DENVER — Rafael Devers paused to admire his home run as it soared into the second deck in the first inning Tuesday night. More than 10 minutes later, in a bizarre and wild scene at Coors Field, Devers finished his trot around the bases and crossed the plate.Here’s what happened in between: a benches-clearing incident between the San Francisco Giants and Colorado Rockies that involved more shoving than punching that ended in three ejections and brought a little spice to the penultimate game in the season series between the NL West adversaries.AdvertisementIt began when Devers, the second batter of the game, hit a two-run home run and milked the moment a bit too long in the estimation of Rockies left-hander Kyle Freeland, who walked off the mound and started a shouting match across the infield. Devers was vociferous in reply. […]
WATCH: Giants, Rockies get into benches-clearing brawl after Rafael Devers admires home run off Kyle Freeland
Getty Images Two batters into the Giants vs. Rockies game in Colorado's Coors Field Tuesday, three players were ejected. Giants first baseman Rafael Devers -- who has been on fire of late -- hit a two-run shot to right field and apparently admired it far too long for Rockies' starter Kyle Freeland's tastes. Freeland started yelling at Devers, Devers yelled back and, well, you get the picture. And the benches cleared. A better angle to see Freeland start yelling at Devers is here: In this highlight, you can see Giants third baseman Matt Chapman get to Freeland and shove him. Chapman was ejected along with Giants shortstop Willy Adames. On the Rockies' end, Freeland was ejected. We don't often see brawls during home run trots, right? There was a Carlos Gomez home run in Atlanta a decade ago with reactions on […]
