England trio Nick Pope, Kieran Trippier and Callum Wilson will face off against Senegal on Sunday after their memorable 3-0 win over Wales earlier this week.

Newcastle-bound forward Garang Kuol has been part of the Australia side that has reached the knockout stages of the World Cup for the first time since 2006.
The 18-year-old, who will join the Magpies from Central Coast Mariners in January, hasn't featured since Australia's 4-1 defeat against France in their World Cup opener.
