As we bid you farewell, here's a reminder of today's top stories.

Gav in Merseyside: Hi Phil, is it time for Jarrad Branthwaite to start a game for England? I think Dunk is a good player, but at 32 years old and only four caps surely there needs to be some better succession planning?

Phil McNulty: Certainly is, Gav. I think Branthwaite should start against Belgium. I like Lewis Dunk and he is a very good player for Brighton but he gave a rather uncertain performance as a substitute against Brazil and was involved in their winning goal.

What is there to lose by starting Branthwaite tomorrow? He has had an outstanding season in a struggling team at Everton so let’s see how he shapes up.

Norwich City say comments by former sporting director Stuart Webber about five black players "do not in any way reflect the wider views" of the club.

Webber said in a newspaper interview that Raheem Sterling, Abu Kamara, Jonathan Rowe, Max Aarons and Jamal Lewis might have ended up "in jail" had they not become footballers.

His comment was widely condemned.

"Norwich City is a home for everyone," the Championship club said in a statement published on their website., external

Anon: Hi Phil. How close do you think Harvey Elliott is to a full England call-up?

Phil McNulty: Harvey Elliott has matured so much this season and is a stand-out in the England under-21 side. I think the Euros will come too soon for him but I am sure he will get his first full cap very soon post-Euro 2024. A very good young player.

Martin: Would Harry Maguire get in Liverpool's team full strength or depleted? If no, why is Gareth Southgate not trusting Joe Gomez (and a host of others) ahead of someone who is clearly a liability an international level?

Phil McNulty: Well it would depend on how depleted they were I suppose, Martin, but I think they would have to be very, very, very depleted. I do not think Maguire would get anywhere near a full strength Liverpool team to be frank. Nowhere near.

Southgate is firm in his conviction that Maguire is part of England’s best central defensive partnership alongside John Stones and cites the record at major tournaments to back his argument.

I am sure he will try people out against Belgium but – despite my serious doubts – I suspect he will start alongside Stones in Germany.

The England squad trained at the Tottenham Hotspur Training Ground earlier ahead of their friendly against Belgium tomorrow.

Declan Rice says that he was 'speechless' when he found out he was going to captain England tomorrow against Belgium at Wembley and that he gave Gareth Southgate a hug.

During the press conference he spoke about how he is comfortable playing as both a '6' and an '8' but he thinks playing in the deeper role is his best position.

Gareth Southgate spoke at length about Rice's development and how he thought he was a leader since he first met him.

England midfielder Declan Rice on playing 45 games already this season and whether he fears burn out: "Not at all, I absolutely love it to be honest with you. With West Ham I played a lot, got used to European nights and three games a week.

"I love putting on the shirt, whether it's for England and Arsenal. I want to look and see at the end of my career and hopefully have won trophies.

"I've been playing consistently well throughout the season. My position has changed a lot this season from when I was at West Ham and it is closer to what Southgate wants here at England."
