World Cup 2026: France v Morocco quarter-final buildup, Collina defends refereeing – live

England defender John Stones was proud of his injury prank that caught out boss Thomas Tuchel during the celebrations of Sunday’s historic win over Mexico.

>Stones teamed up with midfielder Declan Rice to dupe Tuchel into thinking he had injured his shoulder in the dressing room. The German, who had just seen Jordan Henderson go to hospital with a wrist injury suffered after the match, shot a worried glance only for the centre-half to break out into a dance.

>Tuchel went up to hug and laugh with Stones in a clip that has been viewed almost 40 million times on X.

>Jokingly asked how his shoulder was feeling, Stones said in the latest episode of Lion’s Den: “It’s feeling better now, it’s feeling better – it has its ups and downs. I tried to keep a straight face as I was doing it because I saw he (Thomas) was concerned and thinking, ‘has he actually hurt himself?’. Especially after what Hendo (Henderson) had just done outside, he didn’t know what was going to come but it was good vibes in there. I didn’t think it would get that much traction to be fair.”

>Stones was encouraged by team-mate Elliot Anderson to use the dance as a celebration if he scores in the remainder of the tournament, but he promised a new move. “I’ve got another one coming,” he said. PA Media
