England stars soak up sun at F1 Spanish GP ahead of Andorra World Cup qualifier
England's World Cup qualifier away to Andorra will be played in Barcelona next Saturday and the Three Lions began their week in Spain by going to watch the Formula 1 England's stars swapped football for Formula 1 on Sunday as they put on their glad rags and attended the sun-kissed Spanish Grand Prix. The Three Lions face Andorra next Saturday and the game will be played at Espanyol's home stadium in Barcelona. Taking the opportunity for a change of scenery, England's players will spend the next week in Spain ahead of the World Cup qualifier. Before starting their warm-weather training camp, Thomas Tuchel's squad were given VIP tickets to the Grand Prix. The likes of Harry Kane, Bukayo Saka and boss Tuchel were on the grid, meeting teams and drivers. There was even an awkward moment when Saka snubbed an interview with Sky Sports ' Simon Lazenby and ex-world champion Nico Rosberg in the build-up to the start of the rice. England's players looked suave in the heat of Barcelona, with many attending a Formula 1 Grand Prix for the first time. That included captain Kane, who told Sky: "I'm good, I'm hot. First one, I'm looking forward to it, I watch the F1 as much as I can, a few of the English guys are doing well this season, so I'm looking forward to seeing them." Bayern Munich fan Rosberg then thanked Kane for helping the German club win the Bundesliga title this season, with the striker scoring a whopping 38 goals. Rosberg then pressed Kane for who he was supporting in the race, asking the skipper not to give a 'diplomatic' answer. "Oh I know, I know," Kane chuckled. " Lando [Norris], I mean, he's been doing great this year and obviously he's got a great chance to win the championship, so I hope he can get himself in front today. "And of course George [Russell] and Lewis [Hamilton]. It'd be good to see them all on the podium." Norris started in second place behind McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri. Full focus will be on Andorra once the chequered flag is waved, as England look to continue their perfect start under new manager Tuchel. They'll also play Senegal in a friendly a week on Tuesday (June 10) in Nottingham. Tuchel has already ruled out releasing players involved who are in the Club World Cup early, despite the USA-hosted tournament beginning on June 15. "The discussion was very open," Tuchel said. "Very quickly we also understood this is a very important camp for us with one year to go until the Word Cup. Why send players if we want to cherish every day we have together. What signal would it send to the group to send players away?" How should England line up against Andorra? Give us your starting XI in the comments section. The German added: "I was an advocate and I could see the reason for the players who go to the Club World Cup to maybe leave a little earlier, to maybe change the squad. "I can understand the argument from especially the clubs who would love to see the players get a rest but we have a strong argument for ourselves and our goals we want to reach. "We are building a group and a togetherness. We want to develop a camaraderie and it is only possible if we take every day seriously."

Chelsea outcast's son joins Arsenal as Blues exile faces uncertain future
Raheem Sterling has had an underwhelming loan spell at Arsenal but will remain linked to the club as son Thiago has joined the Gunners' academy. The England international's oldest son has signed up to join the Hale End academy at just eight years old. Paige Milian, Sterling's partner and Thiago's mother, posted the news on Instagram, writing: 'Beyond proud of my first born son Thiago for signing with @officialarsenalacademy U9's. 'The growth, dedication, and hard work you've shown over the past year has been incredible to watch, you've earned this. 'This is just the beginning so keep your feet on the ground, stay humble, and keep grinding, the journey doesn't stop here. Let's go TT.' Wake up to find news on your club in your inbox every morning with Metro's Football Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your team in the link we'll send you so we can get football news tailored to you. Thiago Sterling will hope to follow the likes of Bukayo Saka, Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly through the ranks at Arsenal in the years to come. While he will now remain very interested in the club, Raheem is set to leave Arsenal at the end of his current loan spell after a disappointing time on the pitch in north London. After two years at Chelsea it was made clear to the 30-year-old that he was no longer in the first team plans and would have extremely limited opportunities under Enzo Maresca. It appeared that he had found the ideal move in a loan switch to Arsenal, where he would challenge for a spot in the first team at a side competing for titles. Sterling would go on to make seven Premier League starts and 17 top flight appearances in total, failing to score in any of them. He made 28 appearances across all competitions, scoring just once in the Carabao Cup and showing only very brief glimpses of his best form. His future is now unclear as Arsenal will not be interested in making the move permanent and the chances of Sterling returning to the Chelsea first team are very remote. Having previously played for Manchester City and Liverpool, it now looks likely that the winger faces a step down in the size of club he will be playing for. Sterling does not turn 31 years old until December but has racked up a huge amount of experience, making 577 professional appearances since his debut as a 17-year-old for Liverpool in 2012. He has also won 82 caps for England, scoring 20 goals, but has not played for the Three Lions since 2022. Another man who has played for both Chelsea and Arsenal has suggested Fulham as a logical next stop in the career of Sterling. William Gallas told Genting Casino: 'I think it's time for a fresh challenge for Raheem Sterling. He has the chance to show what he could do at Chelsea and then Arsenal but it hasn't happened. More Trending 'He needs to go somewhere he will get more opportunities because even with some rotation at Arsenal, Mikel Arteta hasn't given him that. 'I think one of Arteta's biggest mistakes has been a lack of rotation at times because they have picked up injuries. 'You have to give players a rest at certain times, but with Sterling, he must be frustrated, maybe he will want to stay in the Premier League and in London. 'He's 30 now, but maybe a club like Fulham could give him that opportunity and more chances to play. I'm curious to see what happens next.'

Luis Enrique in brutal Arsenal snub after PSG's Champions League triumph
PSG claimed a historic Champions League triumph after beating Inter Milan on Saturday and boss Luis Enrique was asked who their toughest opponents were along the way - but refused to name Arsenal PSG boss Luis Enrique snubbed Arsenal when naming their toughest opponents in the Champions League this season - after they won the trophy for the first time with a 5-0 hammering of Inter Milan. The Ligue 1 outfit ran riot against the Italian side on Saturday night as Enrique won the competition for the second time in his career. Enrique's men saw off Arsenal across two legs in the semi-finals to reach the showpiece in Munich, beating the Gunners 3-1 on aggregate. Mikel Arteta's side failed to hit the heights of their famous win over Real Madrid in the previous round - which saw them dump out the reigning champions after a 5-1 aggregate victory. But against PSG, Arsenal were much more subdued - first losing 1-0 at the Emirates before a 2-1 defeat in Paris. When asked about PSG's biggest obstacles on their way to glory, Enrique mentioned Liverpool and Aston Villa, but failed to namecheck Arsenal. 'There were a few matches this season that tested us," the Spaniard said, talking to CBS Sports. " Liverpool, for example, made things very difficult, especially in transitions. Aston Villa, too, were one of the more organised sides we came up against." It was a difficult season Arsenal as they finished second without any silverware and ended up 10 points behind Premier League champions Liverpool. As for PSG, they completed a historic treble - as Enrique pulled off the feat with a second club after Barcelona. The Spaniard admitted he was left "emotional" after the win over Inter after the club's fans paid tribute to his late daughter Xana with a huge tifo of her after her death from cancer in 2019 aged nine. He said: "I'm very happy. It was very emotional at the end with the banner from the fans for my family. But I always think about my daughter. It means a lot. It's so nice but I don't need to win the Champions league to remember my daughter. "My daughter is always with us, especially when we lost. With my family, enjoying everything and trying to get the positives, even in the bad moments."
