Araujo’s High Tackle Fells Foden in 1-1 EnglandUruguay Draw at Wembley

The unchecked challenge leaves England waiting on tests for a key midfielder before the World Cup.

Overview

  • Uruguay defender Ronald Araujo caught Phil Foden’s left ankle with a late, high challenge early in the second half, and Foden was replaced and sent to the dressing room for checks.
  • The referee did not call a foul and the video review team (VAR) did not intervene, which prompted England players to call for a red card on the field.
  • England coach Thomas Tuchel confronted Uruguay coach Marcelo Bielsa on the touchline over the tackle in a heated exchange, then the two shared a brief handshake after the match.
  • Ben White scored for England before Fede Valverde equalized with a stoppage-time penalty for 1-1, and Araujo played the full 90 minutes.
  • With the World Cup less than three months away, England awaits Foden’s medical assessment as both teams turn to next week’s warm-ups, with England set to host Japan and Uruguay to face Algeria in Turin.
