Trent Alexander-Arnold: England's Gareth Southgate had planned to play right-back in midfield against Brazil

The top stories and transfer rumours from Tuesday's newspapers...

England head coach Gareth Southgate planned to give injured Trent Alexander-Arnold a key midfield audition in the games versus Brazil and Belgium despite the team's defensive crisis - but his injury has scuppered those plans. The Championship play-off final will be put back seven days to Sunday 2 June if Coventry City qualify for the most lucrative game in football as well as reaching the FA Cup final.

Manchester United are in talks with HMRC regarding an unpaid tax bill on arrangement with players and agents - and they could affect the club's transfer plans. Swansea City were given a rousing team talk by the club's chef before they beat rivals Cardiff City.

As many as four England players could face a 20,000-mile round trip to Australia with Arsenal in May, just a week before two crucial Women's Euro 2025 qualifiers against France. LIV rebels Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton have already picked up bans and fines on the DP World Tour, meaning it is even more vital that the Ryder Cup eligibility rules are changed if the pair are to appear in next year's match.

Peter Grant isn't sure Celtic fans will see the real Reo Hatate any time soon after a lengthy spell out. Get Sky Sports on WhatsApp!
