Kiran Kaur's son Vickrum Digwa was jailed for life for stabbing 18-year-old Mr Nowak to death in December. She was sentenced on Friday to three years in prison after removing the knife from the scene and taking it back to the nearby family home. In a statement following the sentencing, Mr Nowak's family said: "While we accept today's sentencing decision, nonetheless we remain incredibly disappointed. "We will never give up in our campaign for justice for Henry. Our focus is on making sure the ongoing investigations leave no stone unturned as we fight for the full truth about what happened last December, and we continue to urge the government to deliver the changes our wonderful son deserves." Mr Nowak's family also released new photos of him when he was a young boy. Kaur, 53, of St Denys Road, Southampton, was found guilty at Southampton Crown Court of assisting an offender in May. She was found guilty by the jurors who also convicted Digwa of murder and carrying a knife in public. Her son was jailed for life, with a minimum term of 21 years, in June. He is seeking to appeal against the conviction and sentence. A court heard he stabbed finance student Henry, who had been on the way home from a night out with friends, five times in December last year. Rather than calling an ambulance, he filmed Henry as he lay on the floor, before claiming to have been the victim of a racial attack when police arrived. His mother, Kiran, also arrived at the scene and removed the knife he had used. Judge William Mousley KC, sentencing Kaur, said: "A responsible parent would have challenged their son over their actions and encourage them to do the right thing. "Instead you took the knife home and put it with a larger collection of ceremonial and other weapons in your son's bedroom. "That would have helped to conceal what it had been used for." The judge said her actions before and after taking the dagger away "added to your son's pretence that he had done nothing wrong and that he was the victim". He added that her role added to the "degradation of Henry being arrested when he was dying". The court heard the knife was recovered after police studied CCTV and the murder weapon was found about a week after Mr Nowak was killed.

He said: "The absence of a weapon at the scene caused by her actions hampered the police attending who were confronted with a wall of lies. She chose not to disclose what she had done. "Absence of that weapon led to Henry dying terrified, alone and disbelieved, her actions contributed to this."

She won best supporting actress in 1990 for playing the mother of Irish writer and painter Christy Brown in My Left Foot. Daniel Day Lewis also won best actor for the leading role. Ms Fricker followed that with a memorable role in Home Alone 2 as the Central Park "pigeon lady" who becomes friends with Macaulay Culkin's character. Phil Belfield, her agent, said she had died after a period of ill health. "We will never see her like again and the world is lesser for the lack of her," he said in a statement. "I was honoured to know, love and work with her and she will always have a place in my heart and in the heart of so many film and TV fans the world over." The Dublin-born star also appeared with Mike Myers in So I Married an Axe Murderer (1993), and in A Time to Kill (1996), a legal drama fronted by Samuel L Jackson, Sandra Bullock and Matthew McConaughey. She was well known to British TV audiences through her long-running role as nurse Megan Roach on Casualty in the 1980s and 90s. Later appearances included the film Veronica Guerin, which starred Cate Blanchett as the real-life Irish journalist murdered for investigating organised crime, and the adaption of Graham Norton's first novel Holding. Ms Fricker also appeared on stage at venues including the National Theatre and Royal Court Theatre. Paying tribute, Irish deputy prime minister Simon Harris said she was a "national treasure" and "among the greatest exports this country has ever produced". "The [Oscar] win and her emotional acceptance speech, in which she dedicated the award to 'all the people of Ireland', was a defining moment for Irish cinema," the Tanaiste said. "As the first Irish woman to win an acting Oscar, she opened doors and set a standard of excellence that continues to inspire generations of Irish artists." My Left Foot director Jim Sheridan told Irish broadcaster RTE that Ms Fricker was an "amazing actress, amazing ⁠character, a forceful personality". "She was vibrant and full of life and had her own opinions. She took no prisoners, let's put it that ‌way," Sheridan added. Ms Fricker was married to director Barry Davies until 1988 and became pregnant multiple times but suffered repeated miscarriages - something she said left her with long periods of depression. 'Having a dreadful death' In a bed-bound interview with The Guardian last year, she said she was "every day in pain" and "having a dreadful death". Ms Fricker described binge-watching The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills because she couldn't sleep at night. "It's better than getting drunk. I just love it," she told the paper. Ms Fricker - who published her memoir last year - recounted a childhood involving grooming and abuse. But in a lighter moment, looked back on her much-loved role in Home Alone 2.

On one occasion after filming, she bumped into Donald Trump in a hotel lift, telling The Guardian: "It was like I'd jumped into a pigsty but he was very polite about it." The actress also once wrote in the Irish Independent that she was probably prouder of her name becoming Dublin rhyming slang for "knickers" than for her Oscar. She said she had kept the famous statuette in a plastic bag under the stairs - before eventually promoting it to the shelf.

That he chose to spend his last full day as his party's leader in Kyiv – he will be back in London shortly before Andy Burnham succeeds him later – is befitting of a prime minister who saw resetting Britain's place on the world stage as one of his crowning achievements. Burnham to become Labour leader - follow live For Starmer, Ukraine has been of particular importance. He, together with Emmanuel Macron, set up the Coalition of the Willing to support Ukraine as the US stepped back and the EU struggled to step up and lead the charge due to divisions in the bloc. For a prime minister wanting to secure his legacy before being booted out of office after just two years, there was a point in making a trip to Kyiv his final public act. Do allies fear change of leadership? When Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in the gardens of the presidential palace in the centre of Kyiv, awarded Starmer Ukraine's Order of Freedom, the PM looked close to tears. It was his second international honour of the week after he was given the Legion d'honneur following a final summit of the Coalition of the Willing in Paris on Monday. Starmer might not have been much liked at home, but among these leaders, he has been an ally and friend, and there is trepidation as he leaves. Zelenskyy, when I asked him about these concerns about a new prime minister at the news conference in the gardens of the presidential palace, admitted that, of course, he was "afraid" of a change of leadership. Starmer, for his part, insisted that while he was standing down, the UK's support for Ukraine would endure. "I would not have said what I said to President Zelenskyy, which is really important, if I wasn't confident about what I was saying," he told me when I asked him if he had assurances from Andy Burnham about support for Ukraine. "I believe Ukraine will win this war." This was his final act as PM, and our conversation on the stands of a football ground where war veterans had been playing a match was his final interview as prime minister. Starmer did not want to leave office and had insisted, even days before he announced he was standing down, that he would fight on. Instead, having taken the party to victory in 2024, he is being turfed out of office after two years, with a party convinced that he is a winner no more. He could be forgiven for feeling bitter, aggrieved, angry. But the Starmer I encountered in our interview was none of those. He seems to have come to terms, for now, with his fate, clear that while it was not what he wanted, his party had decided that he was not the right leader to take them into the next general election, and he had accepted that with "good grace". Rejected by the party, he took the decision to end his own political career rather than fight a bloody leadership battle (which he would almost certainly have lost) and step down. He told me he took that decision with just his wife Vic and their children, and he did it because it was in the best interests of the country. 'I go with pride' But where he is impervious is around his own record. If his downfall was brought about through a toxic mix of bad decision-making – sending Peter Mandelson to Washington; cuts to winter fuel; poor party management (see welfare reform); the boys' club briefings; and an inability to set out a clear vision, how many resets were there? - and a beating at the ballot box in the local elections; he was not here to admit that. "I go with pride," he said as he told me he had "saved the Labour Party" and made it electable again. I did do enough to prepare for office (his former chief of staff, Morgan McSweeney, said the opposite last week) and set the groundwork for Burnham to go on and win the next general election, he insisted. Read more from Sky News:Under-16s to be banned from buying energy drinksEleven children killed in orphanage fire On the other side of the coin, his political career ends in failure. He had a landslide and a five-year term that he lost because he lost the backing of his party. For a politician who admits he "hates losing to anyone", this must be very painful. It is perhaps too soon after the drama of his downfall for Starmer to talk more openly about what he regrets and where he went wrong. But where he did open up more was when it came to his family, as he gave a very open and honest account of the toll the job has taken on his wife and his kids. "Through every step she (Vic) has been with me, the good, the bad... the really low moments, when somebody tried to burn our family house down, when my brother died, and the last few months, which haven't been easy." He told me that his two teenage children, who have grown up with their father at the top of British politics, want him back, and he clearly means it when he says he takes comfort in swapping the biggest job in Britain for the most important one – being a husband to his wife Vic and a dad to his two teenage kids. It is the side of Starmer – be it joking at PMQs on Wednesday or talking so openly about the choices he made and his motivations – that we haven't seen so much during his years as PM, and it is perhaps a side of him that might have garnered a more sympathetic hearing from a public and a party that have rejected him. He was, after all, a hugely successful election winner who struggled in office. But as he leaves Ukraine and returns home, Starmer will hope that history will judge him more kindly than his party did.

Tuchel has been heavily criticised in the aftermath of the semi-final loss in Atlanta, accused of negative tactics which turned the game in Argentina's favour, and turned a 1-0 lead into a 2-1 defeat. Neville: I won't lump in on Tuchel - England have had same issues for yearsThomas Tuchel vows to stay on as criticism of England's tactics mountsHow Thomas Tuchel's changes spectacularly backfiredReport | As it happened | Teams | Stats | Knockout bracket But now, the head coach has chimed back, saying that it wasn't his formation that was wrong in Atlanta; the problem instead is a weakness in the English football "DNA" which means the players struggle to keep possession when under pressure. "In this moment my feeling was no structure in the world could have helped us," Tuchel said. "Because actually we were too passive and we were not physical enough, we didn't stop runners arriving in our box and the deliveries were wrong too. "I haven't seen the data yet, but I think just right after the goal the momentum swings completely and ball possession drops dramatically. We couldn't find any duels anymore; that's why we dropped deeper and deeper. It was never the plan, but it happened. "[We] couldn't stop the runners from the second line, the midfielders, through our gaps, and the deliveries were on the highest level. You need to get back on the ball; otherwise you cannot break the pressure, and you cannot get the momentum back. "I think ball possession plays a crucial role; it's maybe not in our DNA like it is in our Spanish DNA or in our Argentinian-Brazilian DNA, to take the ball and control the game with the ball." One of England's best players in tight spaces is Kobbie Mainoo, who hasn't played a single minute at this tournament. And Tuchel decided to leave arguably England's most technically gifted footballer, Phil Foden, out of his World Cup squad altogether. Tuchel is adamant that switching to a back five with more than 30 minutes still to play when England were a goal up was not a negative step. Seventeen minutes after Anthony Gordon's goal, he was substituted for Ezri Konsa. Tuchel says that should have helped his players deal with the increased threat he was seeing from Argentina. "We just get too passive within our structure and try to help. Not to help in a back five, to become more passive, but actually to be more active, to be quicker out to the wingers, to not open up the gaps in between the back four. We encourage everyone to step out and to be more active within the structure, but we just struggle." England have clocked up more air miles than any other team at the World Cup, covering 14,365 miles in five weeks. Tuchel says that, together with the extreme conditions at the tournament, also took its toll on the players. "We struggled a bit physically as well, I think, over the whole tournament, playing in the heat, playing at an altitude, playing with a man down and so on. It cost us in the end a lot." Nevertheless, Tuchel says he has seen enough from the players to believe that they can still win a major tournament whilst he is in charge. Sky Sports News understands the FA are not considering Tuchel's position and as of now, he is set to be in charge for Euro 2028 after signing a two-year contract extension before the World Cup, and he says his appetite for the job has not diminished. "One hundred per cent, and there's still enough to improve, still enough to improve and I'm more than happy to do that. "I still think we can impose ourselves more on the ball, I still think we can still show how good football players we are. I think it's still in us because I see it in training in every camp and here also in the World Cup and I still feel there is an extra level that we need to conquer and we need to step up on the next level and then to get the big prize." Neville takes issue with Tuchel's 'DNA' assessment Speaking in the aftermath of Tuchel's comments on an episode of Stick to Football, Sky Sports' Gary Neville criticised Tuchel's suggestion that English DNA played a part in their elimination. The former Three Lions defender specifically mentioned failure to use Mainoo and the decision to leave out other players who could've helped retain possession in games as a counter-argument. "I did think that he'll look back and think, 'did I send the right message to the players after the goal went in?', putting three defensive players on before he brings on an attacker," the former England defender said. "I'm saying this in a non-explosive manner, he [Tuchel] will regret that. I think he gave the players a message to hang on, and they were dropping deeper in the box, and he didn't really help them get out with the substitutes he put on. His quote today [was] 'It's maybe not in our DNA like it is in the Spanish DNA, or the Argentinian or Brazilian DNA, to take the ball and control the game.'. "I have a big problem with that. He didn't bring Kobbie Mainoo on, who could handle the ball better than most. He didn't bring Bukayo Saka on, who could probably handle the ball better than most. But he also left Phil Foden, Cole Palmer, Adam Wharton, Morgan Gibbs-White and Trent Alexander-Arnold at home, technical players. He's left out what would be generational talents." Is DNA really the problem? England's 2014 DNA philosophy set out a blueprint for developing future national teams from youth level upwards. Built around five pillars-identity, playing style, player development, coaching and support-it aimed to create technically gifted, tactically intelligent, physically resilient and psychologically strong players. The framework promoted possession-based, adaptable football, consistent coaching methods, pride in representing England and multidisciplinary support through sports science, psychology, analysis and nutrition. Sky Sports News' Rob Dorsett: "There is a fair comment that England's players, when they are under pressure, don't keep the ball well enough. "It's ironic that Tuchel has used the phrase 'England's DNA' - It's exactly the phrase that Dan Ashworth, England's Chief Football Officer, used all those years ago. "If you look at the FA's 'DNA' - a plan that they introduced in 2014 about how England's teams would play from junior football, right through to the senior team - they addressed the England DNA 12 years ago. "One of two things has happened here. Either the DNA programme has completely failed, I'm not convinced that it has, or Thomas Tuchel is wrong; they can't both be true." Why wasn't Mainoo picked and do England have a midfield problem? Analysis from Sky Sports' Peter Smith: It's a familiar manner of exit for England with a familiar problem at the heart of it: England don't have midfield players who can control a football match. Or at least, they don't have any Tuchel was willing to select. What was the point of taking Kobbie Mainoo to this World Cup? He hasn't got on for a single minute. The 21-year-old - a starter in the Euro 2024 final, don't forget - played a key role in Man Utd's upturn in form in the second half of the Premier League season. Among midfield regulars, only Spain and Man City star Rodri had a better passing accuracy in the opposition half than Mainoo during that period. How England could have done with some of that composure in the final half an hour against Argentina, when they gave up possession and territory to try to hang on. Against Mexico, even with the caveat of having a man less, and against Norway, England were unable to get on the ball and keep it to ease the pressure on their backline. Elliot Anderson and Declan Rice were understandably first-choice for this tournament, but Tuchel turned to Reece James, Jordan Henderson, Jude Bellingham, Eberechi Eze and Morgan Rogers when replacements were required in the centre of the pitch ahead of Mainoo. If Mainoo isn't his man, then that's the coach's call. But unless Tuchel can find a solution in midfield to England's age-old problem, he'll go on getting the same outcomes.Peter Smith

The Barbadian cricketer, who was regarded as one of the greatest all-rounders in the game, passed away on Friday, Cricket West Indies announced. Sobers made his first-class debut for Barbados at the age of 16 in 1953, then quickly played his first match for the West Indies the following year. He scored his first Test century - a then world-record 365 not out - against Pakistan in 1958. The individual score would stand unopposed until another Windies star, Brian Lara, raised the stakes again in the 1990s and 2000s, but it still stands sixth on the all-time list. Sir Garry went on to play for the Windies for 20 years, making both his first and last Test appearances in 1954 and 1974 respectively against England. For Nottinghamshire 10 years after his Test debut he hit six sixes against Glamorgan in the County Championship in Swansea, becoming the first player to do so in an over. A statement on Windies Cricket's official X account read: "A great innings has come to an end. In our hearts, now and forever, Sir Garfield Sobers." Nottinghamshire said in a statement on their official X account: "Cricket's greatest-ever all-rounder, and an iconic figure in Nottinghamshire history. We are extremely saddened to hear of the passing of Sir Garfield Sobers." He was adored in Barbados, where it was a daily occurrence for taxi drivers in Bridgetown to hail him, not the other way round. Kishore Shallow, president of Cricket West Indies, described Sobers as "a son of Barbados whose extraordinary journey became part of the story of our region and whose brilliance carried the name of the West Indies with distinction across the world". She added: "In the story of cricket, there are great players. There are champions. Then, there are those rare individuals who redefine the very meaning of greatness. "Sir Garfield Sobers was the greatest cricketer the world has ever seen. His mastery of batting, bowling and fielding was unparalleled, but his true significance reached far beyond the boundary ropes." Considered by many to be modern cricket's finest all-rounder, Garfield St Aubrun Sobers, who died just 11 days short of his 90th birthday, was an elegant batsman, a versatile bowler, a brilliant fielder and a respected captain. Sobers, born in 1936 in St Michael, Bridgetown, was the fifth of six children and his father died in action during the Second World War in 1942, when his son was just five-years-old. He was born with an extra finger on each hand at birth. They were soon removed but it did not impact his playing career. Following his first-class debut, he played one more first-class match before he was picked to face England in the final Test in Jamaica in March 1954. He took four first-innings wickets as a replacement for Alf Valentine in defeat. A year later he proved his talent as a batsman after he dispatched Australian great Keith Miller for a string of early boundaries. Read more:Home Alone 2 star has diedTribute to son killed in crash In all, he made 93 Test appearances and scored 8,032 runs, scoring 26 hundreds in a 20-year Test career in which he had an average of 57.78 along with 235 wickets at 34.03. Before being knighted in 1975, or named National Hero of Barbados in 1998, he had captained his country for seven years from 1965. England Cricket posted on X: "One of the greatest to ever play the game. Forever in our hearts, Sir Garfield Sobers."

The test will be offered as part of the routine heel prick test already carried out on babies shortly after birth. It's part of an evaluation programme which will inform future recommendations on testing newborns by the UK National Screening Committee. The condition has been brought to national attention in part by singer and former Little Mix star Jesy Nelson, who announced her twins, Ocean Jade and Story Monroe, had been diagnosed with the condition at the start of this year. She has said their diagnosis means they are unlikely ever to be able to walk or regain their neck strength. Nelson welcomed the rollout, calling it "a day of hope". She said: "After years of campaigning, it means so much to see the heel prick test for SMA begin rolling out from October, with implementation continuing throughout 2027 until every newborn screening laboratory across the UK is offering the test. "Knowing that future families will have access to early diagnosis and the opportunity for the best possible outcomes is something I'm incredibly proud to have supported. "This is a victory for every family affected by SMA. Whilst it can't change the future of our children, I know it marks the beginning of a brighter future for future SMA families. Every baby's life matters." 'A hugely important step forward' Nelson has previously called the screening study "a postcode lottery," flagging that it would "only cover 72% of England". In an Instagram post last month, she said: "That means some babies won't be screened simply because of where they live. A postcode lottery like that just isn't fair." Speaking to Sky News' The UK Tonight With Sarah-Jane Mee earlier this year, Nelson said she had taken the twins to the GP three times because they weren't feeding properly but was told: "They are absolutely fine". She said it was her mum who finally recognised the signs, eventually leading them to a diagnosis and treatment. Health Secretary James Murray said: "No parent should have to watch their child lose the ability to move or breathe, knowing that earlier treatment could have made all the difference." Giles Lomax, chief executive officer of Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) UK, said: "We are delighted to see the confirmation that the remaining six screening laboratories will begin screening from October 2027. This demonstrates a clear commitment to making newborn screening available across England. "No family should face a postcode lottery when it comes to a condition where every day without treatment can lead to irreversible loss of motor neurons." Aoife Regan, director of impact and charitable programmes at Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity, said: "Early diagnosis can be life-changing. With effective treatments now available, identifying SMA before symptoms appear gives babies the best chance of timely treatment and can help prevent irreversible disease progression. "At Great Ormond Street Hospital, teams provide specialist and wraparound care for children with SMA and their families following what is often a devastating diagnosis. Screening has the potential to transform that journey for future families." Babies in Scotland have been offered the test since March. What is SMA? SMA is a rare genetic condition that causes progressive muscle weakness and loss of movement and can affect a child's ability to breathe and swallow. It can leave babies unable to sit up, crawl or walk. It's estimated that around 70 babies are born with the condition each year in the UK, with SMA often grouped into types based on the age at which symptoms begin and how it affects sitting, standing and walking. According to the NHS, around 1,150 people in England are living with SMA types one, two, or three. There is currently no cure for SMA, but early treatment can delay the progressive nature of the illness and help children live longer.

It will be illegal to sell energy drinks containing more than 150mg of caffeine per litre to anyone under 16 across all retailers, including online, in shops, restaurants, and cafes. Politics latest: Zelenskyy 'afraid of changes' as Starmer bows out Energy drinks will also be banned from all vending machines, to prevent under-16s from buying them there. One energy drink can contain the same amount of caffeine as two coffees or four cans of coke, with up to a third of children in the UK consuming at least one energy drink every week, particularly boys. Tea, coffee, and lower-caffeine soft drinks - such as Coca-Cola and Pepsi - are not affected. But drinks that currently breach the limit and would be part of the ban include Red Bull, Monster, Relentless, and Prime. They already carry warnings stating they are not recommended for children. Major supermarkets have already voluntarily stopped sales of the drinks to youngsters, but the Department of Health said research suggests some smaller convenience stores are still selling them to children. The ban will be enforced by trading standards. Public health minister Sharon Hodgson said: "We know about the damage to young people: affecting their sleep, their concentration in class, their behaviour." The government confirmed their intent to implement a ban last autumn and launched a 12-week consultation. Hodgson said ministers had heard "from so many parents and teachers across the country, they see the difference when the kids are 'wired' when they're on these high caffeine energy drinks, but it was perfectly legal. "Well now we're empowering parents and teachers and shopkeepers to say 'no, you don't have to sell these to children under 16 anymore, they're banned'." Labour committed in their 2024 manifesto to banning the sale of high-caffeine energy drinks to under-16s, as well as banning the advertising of junk food to children. Theresa May's Conservative government also ran a consultation on banning the sale of energy drinks for children in 2018, although a ban was never implemented. An estimated 100,000 children in England drink high-caffeine energy drinks. Some energy drinks have gained popularity among young people in recent years, with sales of the viral drink Prime skyrocketing after being promoted by YouTubers KSI and Logan Paul.

It is understood that those Three Lions players thought the changes hindered rather than enhanced their chances of winning. Seventeen minutes after Anthony Gordon had given England the lead, and with the tide turning decisively in Argentina's favour as Tuchel's team dropped deeper in defence, the head coach brought on Ezri Konsa for the goalscorer and switched to a back-five with more than half an hour to play. Nev: I have a big problem with Tuchel's DNA commentsTuchel vows to stay on as criticism of England's tactics mountsHow Tuchel's changes spectacularly backfiredHarry Kane: Holding on was not enough against Argentina Ten minutes later, Tuchel substituted Declan Rice - who has struggled with illness and fitness issues during the tournament - for Nico O'Reilly, meaning England had six defenders on the pitch, four of whom were centre-backs. Harry Kane also dropped deeper to help defend the repeated waves of Argentina attacks, spearheaded by Lionel Messi. Those with reservations about the tactics inside the camp felt England had no out-ball, no one to hold the ball up in attacking areas and no one to run the ball down the flanks, which might have alleviated the pressure on the defence. Throughout this tournament, England's attacking focus has been on using pacy wingers - and Argentina's full-backs had been identified as an area of weakness. Ultimately, it was Morgan Rogers on the right wing who set up Gordon on the left wing for the goal that gave England the lead in the 55th minute. But after that goal, Noni Madueke, Bukayo Saka and Eberechi Eze all remained on the bench. Marcus Rashford came on in the 96th minute, by which time England were 2-1 down after late strikes from Enzo Fernandez and Lautaro Martinez completed the Argentine turnaround. No rift in England squad In the period between Gordon's goal and Martinez's stoppage-time winner, England had just 12 per cent possession. Tuchel said afterwards that, even though he had not yet had a chance to review the game, he thought the problem was systemic in English football and that the players weren't able to maintain possession under pressure. He did not think his tactics were wrong. Instead, his plan in going to a back five was to try to cut out the crosses flying into England's box and limit Argentina's space after they'd brought on left winger Nico Gonzalez and shifted Messi to the right wing in a 4-2-4 formation. But Sky Sports News has been told some of England's players think differently. They felt the substitutions were negative, making it increasingly difficult for England's defence to get respite and for them to keep the ball. It is not yet known how they feel about Tuchel's suggestion that there is a weakness in English football's DNA which means they are different from Spanish, Argentinian and Brazilian footballers who are more adept at maintaining possession in difficult circumstances. There is no suggestion that there is a rift in the England camp or any animosity from the players towards Tuchel, who remains an incredibly popular and authoritative leader of the squad. Furthermore, Tuchel maintains the full backing of his FA bosses following the defeat, and the coach himself has said he is "100 per cent" committed to staying in his role for Euro 2028, at which England will enjoy home advantage as a co-host along with Scotland, Wales and the Republic of Ireland.
