Havertz injury latest; Haaland fires Norway to victory; England v Spain buildup: football news - live

Some football fans thought they were going to see Dele Alli return to the pitch as Barnet FC teased a post on X that said “We’ve got….”, using Alli’s chant from his time at Spurs. Instead it seems the club were teasing the anniversary of their manager, Dean Brennan, joining the club five years ago. That would have been a generational signing if it were what supporters were thinking.

There were news reports that Alli would train with Barnet but it is not confirmed when that would take place.

Erling Haaland scored seven goals at his first World Cup this past summer and in his first Norway game since that tournament he was on the scoresheet twice in a 3-2 win over Denmark.

The first was a first-touch finish after being set-up by Antonio Nusa and his second saw him turn home the ball from a corner.

Germany drew 1-1 against the Netherlands yesterday but the headline news from the game is Kai Havertz picking up an injury. The Arsenal star came off after 30 minutes with a muscle problem and Jamal Musiala also came off with an injury. The Germany manager Jurgen Klopp said post match:

double quotation markThe negative highlights are obviously the two injuries to Jamal and Kai.

Both are muscular injuries. Jamal’s happened before the game and Kai’s relatively early in the game. At the moment they’re either still having an MRI, on the way there or already finished. But we don’t have any results yet.
