West Ham's Jarrod Bowen said he is in the form of his life as he prepares to fulfil a childhood dream of playing for England at Wembley. The 26-year-old's form for his club earned a new seven-year contract on Sunday and a recall to Gareth Southgate's squad at international level. Bowen scored the winner as the Hammers won the Europa Conference League against Fiorentina in June and has netted five times in nine appearances this season.
Spain coach Luis de la Fuente was a surprise appointment and an early humiliating defeat by Scotland in March put his fledgling project on the ropes no sooner than it had begun. The Luis Rubiales forced kiss scandal further shook Spanish football and De la Fuente was criticised for his response to it, but he survived the wave of sackings across the Spanish football federation in September. On the pitch in the interim period, the 62-year-old's La Roja have been steadily improving and when they face Scotland in Seville on Thursday in Euro 2024 qualifying, they have a chance to prove it.

NYON, Switzerland: European football’s governing body UEFA said Tuesday it had abandoned plans to re-admit Russian under-17 teams into the youth European Championship next year. In September, UEFA reinstated Russian youth teams to its competitions, having suspended the country’s senior sides due to the invasion of Ukraine. UEFA argued that youth players should not have to pay the price for the actions of adults. That decision sparked anger in Kyiv, which said in response it would boycott all UEFA competitions featuring Russian teams. But UEFA now says it was too difficult logistically to reintegrate Russian under-17 teams and the issue was removed from the agenda of a meeting of the body’s Executive Committee. “The agenda point was withdrawn as no technical solution to allow Russian teams to play could be found,” UEFA said. Kyiv thanked UEFA for scrapping the plans and promised to “fight for the continuation of the isolation” of Russia. “We thank our European partners for supporting Ukraine,” Ukraine’s football association said in a statement. FIFA, world football’s governing body, followed in UEFA’s footsteps earlier this month by announcing it too would reinstate Russia’s under-17 teams. FIFA did not immediately comment when asked for its response following UEFA’s decision to scrap its plans.
