England vs Senegal LIVE SCORE: Action on NOW as Sarr LEVELS for Senegal after Kane scored early for Tuchel's side
Fans back Trevoh amid 10 changes
England fans appear delighted Thomas Tuchel has made 10 changes to his starting line-up.
That in itself is no surprise - given Saturday's win over Andorra was so poor and tonight's friendly is so unimportant, result wise.
But supporters are also excited to see "unsung hero" Trevoh Chalobah start in defence.
One called it "insane" the 25-year-ld has been uncapped until tonight.
He added: "I'll speak for all Chelsea fans, he is underrated. Solid, fast, trajectory in his movement forward and humble."
Another wrote: "Debut for Trevoh nice."
But a third observer posted: "Can't believe he gets in a squad ahead of [Harry] Maguire."

Sarina Wiegman delighted with England performance ahead of Euros opener
Ella Toone scored a brace either side of Lucy Bronze's header to give England a healthy advantage at the break. Wiegman's side flexed their muscles in the second period as Georgia Stanway, Alessia Russo, Aggie Beever-Jones and Beth Mead got on the scoresheet to give England the perfect send-off before they face France in their first game at the Euros next Saturday. Victory in our #WEURO2025 send-off match! 🤩 — Lionesses (@Lionesses) June 29, 2025 'We played a good game,' the 55-year-old said. 'We were a lot in the final third, we scored seven goals which is really good, created a lot of chances and some moments could have been even more patient sometimes. 'But at the same time, scoring seven goals and more opportunities to score was really good. 'We know next week we have to take our game to the next level. But what we wanted to do was play a good game, entertain fans, getting ready for next week and getting everyone fit out of this game. 'It shows we have a good team and have many options and competition going on for positions. Today we had six different players score goals, which is nice going into the Euros and it shows the players can score goals.' Lauren James climbed off the bench in the second period as she made her first appearance since a hamstring injury in April. It did not take long for her to make an impact as she supplied the cross for Russo's goal shortly after her introduction. Wiegman added: 'We're still building her. She's worked so hard to be here where she is now. At Chelsea first, but then the last two weeks in training camps, she could do every single training session and did really well. Right place, right time, RUSSO! — Lionesses (@Lionesses) June 29, 2025 'Now this is the first time she could get minutes and we hope next week we can keep building her going into France. 'Also there is a lot of competition going on upfront and in midfield so we've figured out over the last couple days how we will start.' England feared Mead picked up an injury when she went down holding her knee as the game ticked over into stoppage time. The fans had their hearts in their mouths when Mead received treatment on the field, but she was able to get up and carry on before she scored the last goal of the game. Wiegman said: 'It was a hit on her knee. She's OK, she's good. 'Everyone came out fit and healthy so it was just a hard knock. It looked horrible so we were a little bit scared too, but she could even score after that moment.'

EXCLUSIVE Aryna Sabalenka reveals the meaning behind tiger tattoo and her plans for a unique victory dance at Wimbledon
Not all traditions survive at Wimbledon and the dance between the men's and ladies' singles winners at the Champions Dinner is long defunct, or at least at the victors' discretion. But there is one woman — the title favourite no less — who would bring it back, pimped up for the social media generation. 'If I win the title, of course I'm going to do the dance,' Aryna Sabalenka tells Mail Sport. 'But it would be more like a TikTok dance — the first one, we're going to create a new tradition!' Sabalenka, 27, is the world No 1 women's tennis needs. In a world where content is king, the Belarusian is the content queen. The contrast to her predecessor, Iga Swiatek, could not be greater. The Pole is fanatically protective of her privacy whereas, this year, Sabalenka has opened the gates on her glamorous and zany world. 'I was watching my matches and I thought, "Oh my God, I look so aggressive," and I feel like people thought this is the way I am off court as well,' she explains. 'I felt I had to share myself. I want to express myself so people know I'm not as crazy as I am on court.' That craziness is what makes Sabalenka such a hypnotising presence. She lets fans into her psyche with her bellows of celebration and growls of rage, foot-stamping and mouth-spitting insults at her team. Tennis feels a more visceral, more human endeavour when she is on court. To be able to connect so profoundly with fans is a precious gift for an athlete but one that has not always been easy to handle. 'When I first came on tour, everyone was teaching me to be quiet, not show your emotions, hold everything inside,' reveals Sabalenka. 'But I found it is much easier when I let those negative emotions go — scream at my team, let it out. It helped me to be more focused, more positive. 'Keeping it inside creates more tension. Sometimes I go too much in these negative emotions, which is also not right. So we have to balance it.' We are short of nicknames these days in tennis but Sabalenka's is perfect: she is the Tiger, as illustrated by the tattoo on her left forearm. 'I was born in the year of the tiger and on the court you have to fight like a tiger,' she explains. 'In tough moments, I look down at my arm and I know giving up is not an option. It is a reminder I always have to fight.' Off the court, the tiger is as playful as a kitten. She has one of the closest and best support teams in the game. Coach Anton Dubrov, fitness trainer Jason Stacy and hitting partner Andrei Vasilevski have cultivated an atmosphere of constant striving and constant fun. A regular pre-match warm-up for Sabalenka is goading Stacy in some way, poking him with sticks or chasing him round the locker room. How is she able to go from this to ferocious competition in the blink of an eye? 'I just have a crazy desire for tennis, a crazy desire to win,' she replies. 'The moment I step on the court, it switches in my head.' That crazy desire has got the better of her at times, most notoriously after defeat by Coco Gauff in the French Open final. Sabalenka was deeply ungracious, blaming 'terrible' weather, her own 'terrible' play and saying Swiatek would have beaten Gauff. She apologised to the American privately and publicly but the reconciliation was sealed — how else — by a TikTok dance between them on Centre Court. 'This generation, we're much easier, we're more friendly to each other,' says Sabalenka. 'It feels like a more healthy environment. We need to show the young generation it's not that scary here, we can have fun together. 'We are opponents and there is nothing about friendship on court but off the court, we are nice, we can talk, we can give advice. We can be normal, we can be friends.' Sabalenka has some unfinished business at Wimbledon. She reached the semi-finals in 2021 and 2023, losing tight matches when she looked the best bet to take the title. In 2022, after the invasion of Ukraine, she was locked out as part of Wimbledon's ban on Russian and Belarusian athletes, and last year she withdrew with a shoulder injury. The enforced lay-off gave her time to properly grieve her former boyfriend, former ice hockey player Konstantin Koltsov, who had died three months before. 'I didn't want that break but, at the end, it was much needed,' she recalls. 'I was going through a lot and that time off really helped me to reset, start everything over and be more clear in my head. 'Now I'm here at Wimbledon I feel like I'm a different person. I'm super excited to compete — you appreciate that opportunity much more when it has been taken away.'
