🚨💣 𝐄𝐗𝐂𝐋𝐔𝐒𝐈𝐕𝐄: More players are expected to make statements against the hydration breaks in the World Cup, particularly after Virgil van Dijk voiced his concerns.
They feel that FIFA are slowly turning football into a four quarter sport just to push more advertisements despite the detriment of the game.

The @ChelseaFC defender will be joining Thomas Tuchel’s World Cup squad in place of the injured Tino Livramento
You may be wondering why it's possible for teams to replace players in their squad even after the World cup has started.
The truth is that ational teams cannot simply recall or swap players whenever they feel like it once the World Cup is underway.
Here is how it works.
According to the Regulations, every nation is required to submit a provisional squad of up to 55 players.
From that pool, they are then to name a final 26, including at least three goalkeepers, on or before FIFA's official deadline.
Once that final squad is locked in, the freedom to make changes almost disappears.
For outfield players, a replacement is only permitted in the case of serious injury or illness, and only up to 24 hours before the team's FIRST match. The replacement must come from that original provisional list, and it requires FIFA Medical Committee approval with proper documentation.
After that 24-hour cutoff, the outfield squad will have to remain unchanged for the entire tournament, group stage through to the final. Any player that gets injured at that point will stay registered but cannot be replaced by another player that's not on the squad list.
Goalkeepers are the exception. Because three keepers are so essential, a goalkeeper can be replaced at any stage of the competition if he is unfit.
We have just seen the outfield rule in action. England lost Tino Livramento to injury before their opener against Croatia and brought in Trevoh Chalobah, who was on standby. It was allowed precisely because it fell inside the 24-hour window.
It's fair, but it's also unforgiving.
I hope you have learned something today.

🤯 Despite the Spanish team dominating possession with 74%, Cape Verde committed just one foul in 90 minutes - the fewest ever recorded by a team in a World Cup match since records began in 1966.
That was one of the 𝗠𝗢𝗦𝗧 𝗗𝗜𝗦𝗖𝗜𝗣𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗘𝗗 performances we've ever seen on the world stage.
Hats off to Cape Verde - a defensive masterclass.
Cucurella came out publicly and spoke against how Chelsea was being run. He spoke a lot of what us Chelsea fans were thinking. He went from being booed at the Bridge to being a fan favourite. He is in no way a snake
Good luck in Madrid Marc.
