More from Roy Hodgson: “I don’t understand the seeds. I find it hard to understand how the Fifa rankings work. I don’t understand how we can win 10 and draw three of 13 games, be top of our group and teams above us in the rankings have six points fewer.

“However, you play against who you play against and when you cross that white line it is your performance that counts."

More from Roy Hodgson: "There have been a nucleus of players who have been with me and the group for quite a long time. 

"Are we going to have the body of players we have worked with going forward? Are we consistently going to have to find other people who can come in because they are injured? 

"We have done enough experimenting, we know what we want to do and the players we need to do what we want to do and now it is about getting practice."

Now to Gary Cahill, who takes the captain's armband from the injured Wayne Rooney: "I'm extremely proud to be leading England out tomorrow. It's a great honour and a dream come true. A career high.  

"I've spoken to Wayne Rooney a lot and I'm looking forward to the feeling of leading England out at Wembley."

England manager Roy Hodgson has provided an injury update on Liverpool striker Danny Ings and Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick fit to face Estonia.

"Danny Ings has not trained since joining us because he picked up an ankle injury against Everton but that has responded to treatment better than we thought it would. We are hopeful that by Monday he will be fit," said Hodgson.

“Michael Carrick had a slight recurrence of a tightening of the groin and we did not want to take any chances in a light training session today on the basis it will help him be fit for tomorrow."

On Wayne Rooney being out with an ankle injury: “It is a disappointment for Wayne of course. He is not the type of player who likes to miss games. He received a knock playing against Arsenal, the ankle is settling down very well but we don’t want to risk him tomorrow.

"He has a lot of Man Utd games ahead and I would be devastated if something happened out there.

“The important thing now is for Wayne to fully recover from this minor injury and be fully fit the next time Manchester United play. Disappointing for us and for Wayne but good for Gary Cahill to have the chance to captain the team.

"Wayne has been very keen to be with us and I'm sure he's looking forward to tomorrow night when Sir Bobby Charlton presents him with a golden boot."

Rooney will be honoured at Wembley after becoming England's record goalscorer.

Here's more from Chung Mong-joon: "Fifa is like the sinking Titanic.

"I will mobilise all legal means available to expose the injustice of this decision by the ethics committee while continuing to do my utmost to reform Fifa.

"I call on all the fair-minded colleagues at Fifa and football fans around the world, as well as the court of world public opinion, to join me in my endeavor to bring about a true re-birth of Fifa."

Former Fifa vice-president Chung Mong-joon says he is disappointed after the organisation's ethics committee banned him from football for six years, something he described as "a most blatant miscarriage of justice."

In a statement he said: "While this decision does not come as a surprise, I am profoundly disappointed at an act that, once again, demonstrates the profoundly irresponsible and unethical nature of Fifa.

"This decision by the ethics committee has completely undermined the legitimacy and fairness of the next Fifa presidential election," he added.

England fast bowler Steven Finn says he did not feel any extra pressure to try and win a place in the England Test side ahead of Mark Wood, and expects both to feature in the series against Pakistan:

“You don’t want to use them all up in the practice games but nice to go out there – it took a couple of days to get the rust out of my system and then to go out there and take a few wickets and early wickets it felt good," he said.

"We’ve got three back-to-back Tests. I think it’s a bit unrealistic that the same team is going to play in each Test. You just have to make sure when you’re called upon you’re games in order to be able to go out and perform."

Fast bowler Steven Finn took four wickets for 16 runs as England put a Pakistan 'A' side into bat in their warm-up match in Sharjah.

The home side made 192 runs for the loss of 12 wickets on the opening day of the two-day match, as England agreed that the hosts should bat on after losing their 10th wicket.

Yorkshire spinner Adil Rashid took three wickets, while Liam Plunkett and Samit Patel managed two apience.

Tomorrow England will bat and Alex Hales and Moeen Ali will hope to impress with as they compete for a place opening the batting, alongside captain Alastair Cook in the first Test next week.

Liverpool will unveil Jurgen Klopp as their new manager at 10:00 BST tomorrow morning on a three-year contract.

The 48-year-old has left Dortmund on board a private plane to Liverpool's John Lennon airport. He will stay in the city tonight, where he will sign his contract and will be officially unveiled as Brendan Rodgers' replacement tomorrow morning.

No fails for Wales, that's the hope of BBC presenter Jason Mohammad in his contribution on the Rugby World Cup.

Hope You Are Too.

Got any nails left as you count down the hours to tonight's Euro 2016 qualfiiers?

Why not pass the time by listening to the 5 Live Football Daily podcast, as George Riley is joined by Danny Mills, John Hartson and Iain Dowie to discuss the matches for Northern Ireland, Scotland and the Republic of Ireland.

Plus hear from Theo Walcott, Gordon Strachan, Shay Given, Michael O'Neill and Roy Keane. The panel also debate whether a footballer should play in a match and run the risk of missing their child's birth.

Lothar Matthaus says Bayern Munich have already clinched the Bundesliga title after opening up a seven-point gap over Borussia Dortmund after just eight games.

The World Cup-winning captain also says his former club are big favourites to win the Uefa Champions League.

“They are so powerful,” Matthaus told the BBC’s WorldFootball show. “I have never seen them so strong.”

Gary Lineker also feels the Football Association will be hoping Michel Platini is cleared of any wrongdoing by the investigation, after backing him to be next Fifa president:

"Well it's not going to help Michel Platini's election bid clearly if he is involved in something that's not correct then he too will be in trouble but I suppose we will have to wait and see on that front."

"A lot of people would've backed the Platini so it won't just be the FA, although they have gone out on a limb for him so I suppose in hindsight when things come out it's easy to be quite damning. 

I'm sure The FA will wait and see what happens with the investigation and enquiries, and will be hoping they don't end up with egg on their face."

Gary Lineker believes Fifa has to get their next presidential appointment right: 

"Sepp Blatter is remarkable in the sense that he seems to keep wriggling away from things, but it seems to be catching up with him, the house of cards appears to be collapsing at Fifa, which inevitably leads to the man at the top at some point. He seems to have had more lives than a cat," said the ex-England striker.

"I don't think even Fifa know where it goes from here they're in a mess it couldn't be a bigger mess. Obviously at some point they have to have elect this new leader, whether it's in February or sooner. It needs to be somebody with integrity above suspicion they need to do a total clean sweep and reform Fifa."

Former England striker and Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker thinks it's time for football to start again:

"It just goes from bad to worse to desperately bad, it's just really depressing.

"That the very top of the game is so clearly corrupt and in such a pickle but it's hard to know what they can do apart from clean slate and starting again."
