FC Barcelona internationals continue to add minutes with their national teams on the FIFA date. Andreas Christensen<\/strong> returned with Denmark<\/strong> for the first time since the last Euro Cup, in the goalless draw against Scotland<\/strong> (0-0).<\/p>

On Saturday, Marcus Rashford<\/strong> returned to the starting eleven for England<\/strong> in the victory against Andorra<\/strong> (2-0). With Thomas Tuchel on the bench, the Bar\u00e7a winger played 68 minutes in what was his home in the first half of the year, Villa Park in Birmingham.<\/p>

The 27-year-old forward was not part of the national team in the last Euro Cup, but has returned to the English team on the way to what would be his third World Cup<\/a><\/strong>. ‘Rashy’ was a starter in the team that reached the semifinals in 2018 in Russia (played 6 matches) and, in Qatar 2022, scored 3 goals in 5 matches with the team that fell in the quarterfinals against France.<\/p>

On Saturday, however, he was not entirely ‘fine’ in the match against Andorra. Marcus completed 24 of 31 passes (71%)<\/strong>, with only 3 duels won in 8 attempts and one deflected shot in the 68 minutes he was on the field.<\/p>

England took the lead in the first half with an own goal by central defender Christian Garc\u00eda<\/strong>. In the second half, the ‘Three Lions’ sealed the victory with a goal from Declan Rice<\/strong> in the 67th minute, a result that allows the English to add 12 out of 12 points in four matchdays.<\/p>

Next Tuesday, Thomas Tuchel’s team visits Serbia (20:45 CEST)<\/strong>, currently second in group K with 7 points, after two wins and a draw. Rashford could start the match from the bench if the German coach opts for Anthony Gordon. The Newcastle forward came on for Bar\u00e7a’s ’14’<\/a> with 22 minutes remaining.<\/p>
