Varga returns to Hungary
Following a successful operation, Hungary striker Barnabas Varga has been discharged from hospital and returned home to continue his recovery.
The 29-year-old was left with multiple broken facial bones and a concussion after colliding with Scotland goalkeeper Angus Gunn last Sunday.
Varga's club side, Ferencvaros, posted a picture to X of the striker waving to the camera upon his return back.

Skills on show from Zinchenko
Ahead of Ukraine's meeting with Belgium in Stuttgart, defender Oleksandr Zinchenko was seen showing off his skills.
The Arsenak full-back was introduced as a second-half substitute against the Red Devils, but was unable to prevent his side from finishing bottom of Group E.
Ukraine became the first side in European Championship history to fail to progress to the knockout stages of the competition after claiming four points.

A night to remember for Kvaratskhelia
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia starred in a landmark triumph for Georgia over Portugal, and was able to grab a souvenir to remember the occasion.
In a video posted to his Instagram, the Napoli forward managed to grab Cristiano Ronaldo's shirt at full-time.
With that memento to cherish, Kvaratskhelia will hope to power Georgia through Sunday's last-16 meeting with Spain, the only side still boasting a 100 per cent record in Germany.

Nagelsmann's future number one?
Germany confirmed top spot in Group A on Matchday 3, coming from a goal down to draw with Switzerland in Frankfurt.
Manuel Neuer has kept one clean sheet from his three games, but could have found his future replacement in goal.
The Bayern Munich goalkeeper was seen sharing a moment with a ball boy prior to kick-off, with the youngster approving of Neuer's throw to him with a thumbs up.

The relationship between footballers and journalists can often come into question but that is not the case for Spain manager Luis de la Fuente.

Ferdinand backs Mainoo and Palmer to take England to glory
There were perhaps only two positives from England's draw with Slovakia; topping the group and the introductions of Kobbie Mainoo and Cole Palmer.
The Three Lions young guns made their case for a starting spot against Slovakia in their last-16 fixture on Sunday.
And Rio Ferdinand believes Gareth Southgate must start the pair in Gelsenkirchen, and for the rest of the tournament to stand any chance of success.
If Kobbie / Palmer + Gordon start our next games…. We will go on & win this tournament!
