Tuchel says risk was 'too big' to play Saka and Rice after withdrawals - watch and follow

England

England midfielder Elliot Anderson on if he's confident that he will be starting number six for England in their first World Cup game: "I want it that way. I've got a full season left with Forest, plenty of time till then. I've got to keep my standards high and make sure it happens."

On partnership with Declan Rice: "It's really good. Since I've came him he's helped me feel comfortable, he's helped me learn on the job. The relationship on the pitch is really good.

"On and off the pitch, seeing the way he plays, I'm trying to learn from him."

On if he's distracted by his future at Nottingham Forest: "We have the World Cup this summer, my eyes are on that. Playing for England, I've got the badge on, that's all I'm thinking about at the moment."

On being in a relegation battle while representing England: "All the games are the same, I'm just going on the pitch and doing my best. Fight for whatever strip I have on, that's all I'm doing."

On competition for a starting spot: "We're all competing with each other but we're all really good mates. The competitiveness is there, but we're all really enjoying it."
