Overview
- Luke Littler, a 19-year-old two-time darts world champion, visited St George’s Park and ran the ‘Three Lions Darts Championship’ after dining with the squad on Tuesday night.
- Aaron Ramsdale won the players’ tournament by beating Phil Foden in the final, with Foden impressing by hitting a maximum 180 during the event.
- Littler said Tuchel told him to “teach these boys a lesson” as the players warmed up, and he praised Foden, Ramsdale and goalkeeper James Trafford for their throwing.
- The visit included gift swaps, with Littler giving a personalised Three Lions dartboard and receiving a signed England shirt marked “180” plus a message from Jude Bellingham.
- England continue World Cup preparation with Uruguay on Friday and Japan on Tuesday at Wembley, with eleven regulars rested for the first game due to heavy club minutes, including Harry Kane and Declan Rice.
