Harry Kane, Jack Grealish and England players train for Poland clash - in pictures


  • English
  • Arabic

England have bounced back from their Euro 2020 final heartbreak by resuming their 2022 World Cup qualifying campaign with successive 4-0 wins during this international break.

First up was the emphatic victory in Hungary amid ugly scenes inside the Puskas Arena that saw England players Raheem Sterling and Jude Bellingham subjected to racist abuse, while the visiting players were also booed before kick-off for taking a knee.

World football's governing body Fifa have vowed to take "adequate action" against Hungary, who had already been ordered by Uefa to play the next two Uefa-sanctioned matches behind closed doors due to similar abuse during Euro 2020 games in Budapest.

England maintained their form on Sunday as a much-changed side ran out comfortable winners over Group I's second-bottom team Andorra. Gareth Southgate's team have won their first five matches in the group, scoring 17 goals and conceding just once.

Up next for England is arguably their toughest test to maintain their perfect record when they visit second-placed Poland at the National Stadium in Warsaw on Wednesday.

The reverse fixture at Wembley in March saw England edge Poland 2-1, with defender Harry Maguire scoring an 85th-minute winner after Jakub Moder had cancelled out Harry Kane's first half penalty.

Ahead of the rematch, the England squad went through their paces at a training session at Tottenham's Hotspur Way training complex on Tuesday.

Explainer: Tanween Design Programme

Non-profit arts studio Tashkeel launched this annual initiative with the intention of supporting budding designers in the UAE. This year, three talents were chosen from hundreds of applicants to be a part of the sixth creative development programme. These are architect Abdulla Al Mulla, interior designer Lana El Samman and graphic designer Yara Habib.

The trio have been guided by experts from the industry over the course of nine months, as they developed their own products that merge their unique styles with traditional elements of Emirati design. This includes laboratory sessions, experimental and collaborative practice, investigation of new business models and evaluation.

It is led by British contemporary design project specialist Helen Voce and mentor Kevin Badni, and offers participants access to experts from across the world, including the likes of UK designer Gareth Neal and multidisciplinary designer and entrepreneur, Sheikh Salem Al Qassimi.

The final pieces are being revealed in a worldwide limited-edition release on the first day of Downtown Designs at Dubai Design Week 2019. Tashkeel will be at stand E31 at the exhibition.

Lisa Ball-Lechgar, deputy director of Tashkeel, said: “The diversity and calibre of the applicants this year … is reflective of the dynamic change that the UAE art and design industry is witnessing, with young creators resolute in making their bold design ideas a reality.”

Labour dispute

The insured employee may still file an ILOE claim even if a labour dispute is ongoing post termination, but the insurer may suspend or reject payment, until the courts resolve the dispute, especially if the reason for termination is contested. The outcome of the labour court proceedings can directly affect eligibility.
