<p>Glenn Hoddle has strongly lambasted Thomas Tuchel after Crystal Palace star player Adam Wharton was omitted from England’s World Cup squad.</p>



<p>The 22-year-old ace midfielder was overlooked in favor of 35-year-old Brentford veteran Jordan Henderson, a selection that sparked intense media debate.</p>



<p>Tuchel’s snub came just before Wharton delivered a man-of-the-match performance in Leipzig, Germany, driving Palace to a 1-0 victory over Rayo Vallecano to capture the UEFA Conference League title. The win secured the South London club’s first European trophy and a spot in next season’s Europa League.</p>



<p>Hoddle spoke to a local sports publication on Thursday, 28 May, sharing his surprise at the talented midfielder’s exclusion: “I’m not sure England have got many in the deep-lying positions who can do that on a consistent level. So I raised an eyebrow when I saw he wasn’t in the squad.”</p>



<p>Wharton took the decision professionally: “I’m not going to sit here and cry about it … Hopefully, there are other tournaments and World Cups I can go to in the future.”</p>



<p>Despite the international setback and the domestic transition following manager Oliver Glasner’s departure, the four-cap international remains focused on anchoring Palace’s upcoming continental campaign.</p>

Glenn Hoddle Takes Swipe at Tuchel Over England Squad Choice


<p>Kasper Schmeichel officially announced his retirement from professional football following a career-ending shoulder injury.</p>



<p>On Wednesday morning, 27 May, the 39-year-old Celtic and Denmark goalkeeper confirmed the news to a Danish sports news outlet, revealing that medical experts have advised against returning to top-level competition as it is no longer feasible for the Leicester City icon.</p>



<p>Facing a year-long rehabilitation process involving torn ligaments and tendons, Schmeichel chose to focus on his long-term physical well-being: “It’s a decision that has been made for me. I have consulted with various surgeons and experts regarding my shoulder, and they have told me that I should not expect to return to play top football. I’ve given it a lot of thought, but I believe that now is the right time.”</p>



<p>The injury, initially sustained during international duty against Portugal last year, was severely aggravated in February during Celtic’s Europa League clash with VfB Stuttgart.</p>



<p>Schmeichel departs as an undisputed legend of the modern game. Over an illustrious 13-year international career, he earned 120 caps for Denmark, famously anchoring their run to the Euro 2020 semi-finals. Statistically, his greatest club success came during a 479-appearance tenure with Leicester City, where he kept goal for their miraculous English Premier League title triumph in 2016, alongside FA Cup and Community Shield victories.</p>

Kasper Schmeichel Hangs Up Boots


<p>Aston Villa could consider transfer offers exceeding £100 million for forward Morgan Rogers this summer, despite securing UEFA Champions League qualification and winning the Europa League.</p>



<p>The 23-year-old talismanic player starred in Villa’s historic 3-0 Europa League final victory over SC Freiburg in Istanbul, Turkiye, recording a goal and an assist to end the club’s three-decade major trophy drought. The triumph marked manager Unai Emery’s fifth Europa League title.</p>



<p>Rogers revealed in a recent interview that his clinical performance followed relentless instructions from Emery: “The manager’s been banging on to me about getting more easy goals and to get into the box. [I’m] happy I could get there and get a toe on it to score.”</p>



<p>Former Villa defender Alan Hutton admitted that a nine-figure fee would be difficult for the club to refuse, as the funds could be strategically reinvested to establish the Villans as perennials at European football’s top table.</p>



<p>While heavyweights like Bayern Munich, Manchester United and Real Madrid circle the 2025 PFA Young Player of the Year, the Villans remain in a powerful negotiating position.</p>



<p>Rogers is under contract until 2031, meaning the club will not part with their star asset easily. However, reports indicate Villa are already monitoring Sporting CP’s £80 million-rated Pedro Goncalves as a potential replacement.</p>

Aston Villa Look to Offload Morgan Rogers


<p>Arsenal ended their 22-year wait for an English Premier League (EPL) title after Manchester City’s 1-1 draw at Bournemouth handed the Gunners the crown with one game to spare.</p>



<p>City needed a victory to extend the race, but Erling Haaland’s late equaliser proved insufficient following teenager Eli Junior Kroupi’s first-half goal for the Cherries. The result left Mikel Arteta’s squad four points clear at the summit of the EPL table, sparking wild celebrations at their training ground.</p>



<p>The result marks Arsenal’s first league title since the legendary “Invincibles” era in 2003/04, breaking a six-year trophy drought after three consecutive runner-up finishes.</p>



<p>With the EPL title gone, City ends the week on a turbulent note. Fresh off securing the Football Association Cup against Chelsea, reports have emerged that manager Pep Guardiola will depart at the end of the season.</p>



<p>Guardiola conceded the title gracefully, praising his former assistant Arteta: “On behalf of all Man City and my team, congratulations Arsenal, Mikel [Arteta], his staff, backroom staff, all the players, fans for this Premier League. They deserve it!”</p>



<p>While Arsenal will officially hoist the trophy on Sunday, 24 May, after playing Crystal Palace, their historic campaign is not yet complete. The newly crowned EPL champions will travel to Budapest to face Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final on 30 May, keeping dreams of a continental double alive.</p>

Two Decades in the Making: Arsenal Crowned EPL Champions


<p>On Monday, 18 May 2026, Arsenal secured a slender but seismic 1-0 victory over Burnley at the Emirates Stadium, placing the Premier League trophy within their reach. The decisive moment came when Kai Havertz nodded home a Bukayo Saka corner, marking Arsenal’s 18th goal from a corner this season and their 24th from a set-piece overall. Despite a nervy atmosphere and a high-attacking lineup, Mikel Arteta’s side demonstrated the defensive grit that has defined their campaign.</p>



<p>The match was not without controversy, however. Havertz found himself at the centre of a heated debate after a &#8220;vicious&#8221; high challenge on Burnley’s Lesley Ugochukwu. While referee Paul Tierney issued a yellow card and VAR opted not to intervene, pundit Gary Neville was vocal in his disagreement, stating on co-commentary: &#8220;I think this is a red. There&#8217;s no way you&#8217;re getting the ball, you can only hurt the player there&#8230; he&#8217;s a lucky boy.&#8221;</p>



<p>With Burnley already relegated, the win leaves Arsenal five points clear at the summit. Their focus now shifts to tonight’s clash between Bournemouth and Manchester City. A failure by City to win would see Arsenal crowned champions. Reflecting on the situation, a hopeful Mikel Arteta remarked, &#8220;The biggest Bournemouth fan ever! To Andoni, and all the players&#8230; we know what it means if they get a result.&#8221;</p>
