We also heard from Eddie Howe who remained coy about Alexander Isak's fitness ahead of their final game against Everton.
"For sure there's one left in him.
'We'd love him to be fit and available for the game. He has to be fit to give his best, though, I think that's clear and we wouldn't risk him being not able to deliver what he needs to do.
'He has to be free in his movement and everything because he's that kind of player, he's electric at his best. So let's see.'

"For me, it's not normal and it's not correct. I can understand people think that they earn a lot of money but it's not about money, it's about health. It's about protecting players. Because of the amount of games they play, I don't think [the authorities] pay attention to that.'

That match was scoreless all the way into stoppage time before North Macedonia's Bojan Miovski, a forward for Girona in La Liga. However, Wales would quickly answer to force the draw. Belgium has yet to play a qualifying match because the team was playing in the Nations League during the first window. North Macedonia has gotten off to a strong start, but a World Cup berth would still be a surprise considering the team has never played in the tournament before. However, the team has been on a hot streak lately, winning six of its past seven games. Belgium has played in the past three World Cups and finished third back in 2018. However, the team is on a bit of a slide. It won its last match in March against Ukraine, but entered that game with five losses and a draw in the team's previous six contests.

Defiant Postecoglou proud of Spurs reign despite sacking
Ange Postecoglou insisted he was proud of his turbulent Tottenham reign despite being sacked on Friday as the Australian claimed he had defied the odds by ending the club's trophy drought. Postecoglou led Tottenham to their first silverware for 17 years just 16 days ago when they beat Manchester United 1-0 in the Europa League final in Bilbao. Advertisement But securing a lucrative place in next season's Champions League by winning Tottenham's first European prize since 1984 wasn't enough to save Postecoglou. The Australian paid the price for presiding over Tottenham's 17th place finish in the Premier League, which ranked as their worst top-flight season since they were relegated in 1976-77. Despite the numerous problems that rocked Tottenham during his two-season spell, including injuries to a host of key players, Postecoglou was adamant he had relished the battle to finally deliver a trophy in difficult circumstances. "There were many challenges to overcome and plenty of noise that comes with trying to accomplish what many said was not possible," the 59-year-old said in a statement after his sacking. Advertisement "When I reflect on my time as manager of Tottenham Hotspur my overriding emotion is one of pride. "The opportunity to lead one of England's historic football clubs and bring back the glory it deserves will live with me for a lifetime. "Sharing that experience with all those who truly love this club and seeing the impact it had on them is something I will never forget. "That night in Bilbao was the culmination of two years of hard work, dedication and unwavering belief in a dream." - 'We are forever connected' - Postecoglou, hired from Celtic exactly two years ago, endured months of speculation over his future as Tottenham spluttered through their dismal domestic campaign. Advertisement He had hoped Tottenham's first silverware since the 2008 League Cup would spare him from the axe. But Postecoglou returned from a family holiday in Greece to discover chairman Daniel Levy had made his ruthless move amid reports of the club's interest in Brentford boss Thomas Frank, Fulham manager Marco Silva and Crystal Palace's Oliver Glasner. As his team slumped towards a woeful 22 defeats from 38 league games this term, Postecoglou clashed with Tottenham fans, who criticised his overly-attacking tactics. The Europa League triumph softened the relationship and he was serenaded on multiple occasions at the trophy parade, with players backing him to stay after a 4-1 home defeat against Brighton in what proved to be his last match. Advertisement Postecoglou, who delivered on his bold boast that he always wins a trophy in his second year, had jokingly told fans at the parade that the third season is always better than the second in television programmes, a reference to his desire to stay in charge. He won't get that opportunity, but he believes his successor will benefit from his work in north London. "We have laid foundations that mean this club should not have to wait 17 more years for their next success. I have enormous faith in this group of players and know there is much more potential and growth in them," he said. "I sincerely want to thank those who are the lifeblood of the club, the supporters. I know there were some difficult times but I always felt that they wanted me to succeed and that gave me all the motivation I needed to push on. Advertisement "I want to thank those who were with me every day for the last two years. A fantastic group of young men who are now legends of this football club and the brilliant coaches who never once doubted we could do something special. We are forever connected." smg/mw

Luis Diaz Admits he is ‘Talking to Other Clubs' with Liverpool Future Uncertain
Luis Diaz Sends Message to Liverpool After Barcelona Bid Rejected Luis Diaz has broken his silence following Liverpool's rejection of an approach from Barcelona, raising fresh questions over his long-term future at Anfield. With two years left on his current contract and no breakthrough in renewal talks, the Colombian international has left the door ajar for potential movement this summer. Advertisement Earlier this week, The Athletic's David Ornstein reported that Barcelona had submitted a bid for Diaz, which was swiftly dismissed by Liverpool. The club's top brass, led by Richard Hughes and Michael Edwards, are believed to have taken a firm 'not for sale' stance on the 28-year-old, consistent with Paul Joyce's claim that there's no active plan to offload him. However, what's more intriguing than the failed offer is the player's reaction. Photo: IMAGO Diaz Speaks Out: 'We are talking with other clubs' On international duty with Colombia, Diaz was quizzed about the speculation during a press conference and his answer was anything but evasive. Advertisement 'We are talking with other clubs. It's normal in the transfer window and we're looking at the best for us. If they offer us a good renewal or I stay there for the two years [of his current contract], I'll be happy. Now it's up to them,' he told FCF Media, as relayed by Pipe Sierra. These comments are as much a statement of intent as they are a negotiation strategy. By highlighting that conversations with other clubs are ongoing, Diaz has effectively nudged Liverpool's hierarchy, indicating a willingness to stay but not at any cost. Liverpool's Next Move Under Slot Diaz's words will surely be noticed. This is no longer a club in limbo. Under Arne Slot, Liverpool reclaimed the Premier League title in his debut campaign, injecting a sense of clarity and ambition around the club. Retaining key players like Diaz must now be seen as crucial to sustaining this momentum. Advertisement Slot will want stability in his attacking options, and Diaz, known for his direct play and tactical discipline, fits the profile. But football economics are ever present. Barcelona's interest, while ultimately unsuccessful, hints that there are suitors who view Diaz as a viable marquee signing. Contract Dilemma Reflects Wider Strategic Shift Liverpool have seen this script before. Mo Salah and Virgil van Dijk used public platforms to pressure the club during their respective contract stand-offs, before eventually extending their stays. It appears Diaz may be employing a similar tactic. The message from the Colombian winger is clear: he's not forcing a move, but he's certainly listening. His statement, 'It's up to them,' places the responsibility squarely on the club. The implication? If Liverpool truly value him, it's time to show it — with a contract that reflects his status in the squad. In the modern game, loyalty often walks hand in hand with leverage. Whether this ends with a new deal or increased tension will depend on how swiftly the club acts. One thing is certain — Luis Diaz has made his position known, and Barcelona will be watching closely.
