    International week. Don't you just love it? Well OK, so it's not everyone's favourite part of the football calendar.

    And sure, a fixture against Lithuania in a largely tension-free Euro qualifying group may not set the pulses racing. But come on, let's make the best of it. With Harry Kane poised for the most eagerly-anticipated debut in a long time, and Wayne Rooney closing in on Bobby Charlton's all-time goalscoring record, there are plenty of subplots to keep tonight's match interesting.

    And if you're still not convinced, never fear - we'll have plenty more news for you from the world of football and the other stories making the sporting headlines today.
