As Uruguay and Japan loom, PHIL MARTIN argues that Thomas Tuchel should do what England managers rarely dare: prioritise freshness over familiarity. A radical reset that could redefine England’s readiness for Dallas.
It's been over two years since Harry Souttar last donned the Foxes blue, a mixture of being out of favour and a substantial Achilles injury having thwarted any opportunities for the Australian international. Looking ahead to next season, is it time to cash in or bring him back into the fold?

Right now, it feels like the best way to utilise the man’s talents is to unshackle him. Since the turn of the year, he has felt pinned to a position which does not give a proper outlet for his talents.
MACHEL HEWITT: Even at my most pessimistic, I find it hard to believe Bromley can't pick up a minimum of 14 points from their remaining fixtures.
Swindon could fit out the Town End so it can be a home for anyone who wants a ticket. The club can prove they are capable of reacting to fan opinion, and able to deliver a relatively minor development task in an expedient and effective manner.
