Good morning! Here is today’s summary from Sports Newspapers:

- England midfielder Phil Foden will return to Germany on Thursday amid the ongoing Euro 2024 after travelling to the United Kingdom for the birth of his third child. The 24-year-old left the England camp for what the Football Association said on Wednesday was a “pressing family matter”.
