- 15m earlier – The English Team news: Jarell Quansah ruled out
Crucial match for Scotland on Sunday, as they host the Belarusian side to the city of Glasgow.
Uefa half-time scores:
Norway three-nil Israel – Erling Haaland netted the second goal.
Hungary 0-0 the Armenian team
The English Squad news: Quansah withdrawn
The defender will be absent from England's FIFA World Cup qualifier against Latvia due to a physical issue and the defender – who did not take part in England's three-nil friendly victory over Wales at Wembley Stadium – will return to his club Bayer Leverkusen.
The former Liverpool defender has been a mainstay in Leverkusen's backline this campaign but the national squad said no additional team replacements were arranged for the qualifier in the Latvian capital on this Tuesday.
The English side could secure a spot for next year's World Cup with two matches to remaining if they overcome their opponents on Tuesday and results in other matches in Group K go their way.
Introduction
This is do or die for Ireland, though their hopes of reaching North America may already seem over. A familiar face in Cristiano Ronaldo awaits them, and Portugal are leading of their group. At the venue, the Irish side face a enormous task.
Our other main focus will be European champion Spain, who have triumphed in every game so far in their group, against the Georgian team, who have never earned a place for a major tournament and are targeting for the qualifying playoffs. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has been a uncertainty and Liverpool fans will get a chance to see the Georgian goalkeeper.
