- 15m earlier – Overview
- 15m ago – The English Team update: Quansah ruled out
Important game for Scotland on Sunday, as they face the Belarusian side to the city of Glasgow.
Uefa half-time scores:
Norway 3-0 Israel – Erling Haaland got the second goal.
Hungary 0-0 Armenia
England news: Quansah excluded
Jarell Quansah will miss England's FIFA World Cup qualifier against the Latvian side due to injury and the player – who did not take part in England's 3-0 exhibition win over the Welsh team at Wembley Stadium – will return to his club Bayer Leverkusen.
He has been a regular in Leverkusen's backline this campaign but England said no additional team additions were planned for the qualification match in Riga on Tuesday.
England could earn a place for next year's World Cup with two matches to remaining if they defeat Latvia on Tuesday and results in other matches in Group K go their way.
Preamble
This is make or break for Ireland, though their hopes of making it to North America may already be over. A well-known face in Cristiano Ronaldo greets them, and Portugal are top of their group. At Sporting Club’s stadium, the Irish side face a massive challenge.
Another key match will be reigning European champions the Spanish national team, who have triumphed in every game so far in their group, against the Georgian team, who have never qualified for a major tournament and are hoping for the qualifying playoffs. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has been a doubt and the Premier League club supporters will get a chance to see the Georgian goalkeeper.
