Assuming you mean soccer. If you meant American football, tell me and I’ll rewrite it.

The international break has given fans a change of scenery, but plenty is still happening on and off the pitch.

England fall to Spain, but Tuchel isn’t panicking

Spain showed their class as errors cost England in a Nations League loss. The result was still a talking point for what it did to the debate around the manager. Sky Sports argued that Tuchel’s critics have been forced to stay quiet despite the defeat. Tuchel singled out a “gutted” Declan Rice for praise afterwards, and he also said Jude Bellingham is better when he plays with a “bit of rage.” Football Games, Results, Scores, Transfers, News +2

Injury worries for the clubs

The Premier League after five games

Sky Sports’ early-season review has a few clear themes:

• Manchester City are continuing their perfect start to the campaign. Sky Sports
• Arsenal have had a wobble. A 3-0 loss to Brighton has tested the theory that they’re stronger than last season. Sky Sports
• Liverpool are unbeaten under new head coach Andoni Iraola. A hard-fought 1-0 win at Bournemouth extended that run to 12 games, counting pre-season friendlies. Sky Sports
• Aston Villa may have turned a corner. Their 3-2 win against Tottenham was their lone win in the first five games. Sky Sports
• Tottenham look fragile. De Zerbi said he’d never seen a team so fragile and inconsistent in his 14 years as a coach. Sky Sports

The Man City charges: a decision is coming

The story hanging over the season is off the pitch. The Premier League is set to recommend a punishment for Man City within weeks, while the club’s chairman says they remain confident of fighting the charges. Expect a lot of noise on this in the coming weeks. tntsportstntsports

Women’s football: Arsenal’s unbeaten run ends

In the WSL, Man Utd earned their first win of the season as Arsenal’s 11-month unbeaten run came to an end. Alyssa Thompson’s strike sealed the win for Chelsea. Elsewhere, Putellas scored her first WSL goal to help London City move up to second with a win at Brighton. Football Games, Results, Scores, Transfers, News +2

Ballon d’Or watch

The award race is heating up. Sky Sports has assessed the main runners and riders, including Kane, Lamine Yamal and Mbappé. Sky Sports

What to watch next

Once the international break ends, the big questions are whether Arsenal can bounce back, whether Liverpool’s unbeaten run survives tougher opposition, and whether anyone can stop City. And whenever the verdict on those charges lands, it will change the conversation.
