England forward Eberechi Eze hailed his Arsenal teammate Bukayo Saka’s ability, believing he could be the key to unlocking a stubborn Panama defence during their FIFA Group ‘L’ encounter on Saturday.

They’ll likely face a similar challenge against Panama, but Eze reckons Saka, who is yet to start a match in this tournament, could be the difference maker for the Three Lions this time around.
