Tunisia manager Sabri Lamouchi has left midfielder Ferjani Sassi - who has 101 caps - out of the country's squad for the World Cup. Sassi, 34, has been omitted along with defender Yassine Meriah, who has made 95 appearances for Tunisia. Former Cardiff City and Nottingham Forest boss Lamouchi, who took over as Tunisia boss in January, left both players out of his squad for two friendlies against Haiti and Canada in his first two games in charge earlier this year.

Veteran Dutch manager Dick Advocaat has made a surprise return as head coach of Curacao national football team just one month before the country's historic World Cup debut. Advocaat stepped down from the role in February after guiding Curacao to their first-ever World Cup qualification last November, citing concerns over his daughter's health. However, following improvements in her condition, reports in the Netherlands suggested the 78-year-old was open to returning, and Curacao Football Federation president Gilbert Martina confirmed the appointment on Tuesday.

With this summer's World Cup already mired in controversy over politicisation, potential travel bans and rows over ticket prices, fans were dealt another piece of sad news this week: the tournament's much-loved Panini sticker album will be discontinued after 2030.

“I would never say no to the national team if they need me, especially with a World Cup coming up,” Suarez told reporters as quoted by Spain's EFE news agency. “At the time, I stepped aside to make way for the younger generation. I said something I shouldn't have said. I have already apologised to those I needed to apologise to.”

Infantino's re-election will be a coronation, as he has already received the public endorsement of the African, Asian and South American confederations, meaning 111 of 211 potential votes are already in the bag.
