Mathys and Wilson are in the France squad to take on Portugal in their opener in Group C in Trencin, kicking-off at 8pm UK. Poland and Georgia are also in Group C as the top two teams from the four groups progress to the quarter-finals.
Mathys featured 20 times for us in all competitions last season, scoring three goals, after joining on loan from Bayern Munich in January.

The two speedsters are joined in the attacking ranks by Jean-Mattéo Bahoya, the Eintracht Frankfurt forward we faced in the UEL quarter-finals in April.

Mikey, Reiss-Alexander set for UEFA Under-19 Championship
Mikey Moore and Reiss-Alexander Russell-Denny are in the England squad for the UEFA Under-19 Championship that begins in Romania on Friday. They kick-off against Norway on Saturday before facing Germany (17 June) and Netherlands (20 June).
Amanda Nilden has been named in the Sweden National Team squad for Euro 2025.
Named in Peter Gerhardsson’s squad for their UEFA Nations League clashes earlier this month, the full-back has maintained her spot in her nation’s final squad for this summer’s major tournament.
The call-up comes with just under a month until Sweden’s opening game of the competition – a Group C with Denmark at Stade de Geneve in Lancy, Switzerland on 4 July.
They will then face Poland four days later at Ullevaal Stadion in Oslo before taking on Germany on 12 July at Stadion Letzigrund in Zurich for their final game of the group phase.
Ahead of the tournament though, Sweden will face Norway in an international friendly on Thursday 26 June at Ullevaal Stadion.
This will be Amanda’s second call-up to a major tournament with her nation, having been involved in Sweden’s Euro squad in 2022 as they reached the semi-final of the competition before losing out to eventual winners England.
Rodrigo Bentancur picked up an assist as Uruguay beat Venezuela 2-0 in the early hours of Wednesday to move within a point of qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The assist was trademark Rodrigo, pressing high up and robbing Yangel Herrera of possession 35 yards out. Giogian de Arrascaeta picked up the loose ball, steadied himself and hit a rocket into the top corner to make it 2-0 two minutes into the second half in Montevideo. Earlier, Rodrigo Aguirre headed home from a corner just before half-time.
Rodrigo completed 79 minutes and Uruguay now need a draw from their final two qualifying matches against Peru and Chile in September to secure a place in CONMEBOL's top six qualifying and therefore a place in the finals in USA/Mexico and Canada next summer.
Richarlison did just that with Brazil, the striker off the bench in the second half as Vini Jr's goal was enough to beat Paraguay and secure their place in the 2026 showpiece. Meanwhile, Cuti Romero played a full shift as holders Argentina - who are 10 points clear and already qualified - drew 1-1 with Colombia.
Richarlison came off the bench in the second half as Brazil secured a place at the 2026 FIFA World Cup with a 1-0 win against Paraguay in the early hours of Wednesday.
Richy, who returned to international action for Seleção for the first time since October, 2023, against Ecuador last week, entered the fray on 78 minutes in Sao Paulo.
Vinicius Jr struck the only goal of the game just before half-time, meaning Brazil secure a place in the top six of CONMEBOL qualifying and therefore to book their place in the finals in USA/Mexico and Canada next summer.
Staying in CONMEBOL qualifying, Cuti Romero completed another full shift for Argentina in a 1-1 draw against Colombia in Buenos Aires. The holders secured their place at the finals a long time ago - they are 10 points clear of Ecuador and Brazil at the top of the table.
Meanwhile, Rodrigo Bentancur picked up an assist in Uruguay's 2-0 win against Venezuela - meaning Uruguay are one point away from joining Argentina and Brazil in the finals with two qualifying games remaining against Peru and Chile in September.

Heung-Min Son returned to action for a final appearance of 2024/25 as South Korea completed an unbeaten qualifying campaign for the 2026 FIFA World Cup with a 4-0 win against Kuwait on Tuesday.
Sonny's last start was at Villa on 16 May and after appearing off the bench in the UEFA Europa League Final in Bilbao, was rested again for the season's finale against Brighton as he continued to manage a foot issue. He was also an unused substitute as Korea secured qualification for next summer's finals in USA/Mexico and Canada with a 2-0 win against Iraq on Thursday.
Captain of club and country, Sonny stepped off the bench for the final 15 minutes at Seoul's World Cup Stadium with his side already 4-0 up. That's how it stayed, and Korea qualify for the finals again - they have qualified for every World Cup since 1986 - reaching the semi-finals when they co-hosted with Japan in 2002 - that's 11 straight World Cups, and only five nations have a better consecutive appearance record.

Ben Davies has moved into third on our all-time list of players with most international appearances during their time at the club.
The defender captained Wales again on Monday evening in a thriller against Belgium in 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying in Brussels. Belgium raced into a 3-0 lead, Wales to pulled it back to 3-3 - Brennan Johnson on target with the equaliser - only for Kevin de Bruyne to win it for the Red Devils in the 88th minute.
That was Ben's 96th cap and his 85th since joining us in the summer of 2014. That moves him ahead of Harry Kane, who earned 84 of his 106 caps to date for England between his goalscoring debut for the Three Lions against Lithuania in 2015 and departing for Bayern Munich in August, 2023.
Ben is nine caps behind his friend and team-mate Heung-Min Son, who has earned 94 of his 133 caps for South Korea since joining us in September, 2015.
Topping the list is Hugo Lloris, who earned 107 of his record 145 caps for France during his time at Spurs between August, 2012 and December, 2023, lifting the World Cup as captain in 2018. Jan Vertonghen is the only other player to reach 80-plus caps for his country during his time at Spurs, with 80 of his record 157 caps for Belgium during his time here, 2012-2020.
Brennan Johnson completed a memorable season with another memorable goal - but this time it wasn't to be as Wales were beaten 4-3 by Belgium in a thriller in 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying on Monday evening.
Brennan - our UEL Final matchwinner in Bilbao - was joined in the line-up by Ben Davies, wearing the captain's armband again and this time starting at left-back, as the hosts raced into a 3-0 lead inside half-hour at Stade Roi Baudouin in Brussels.
Harry Wilson gave Wales hope from the penalty spot deep into added time at the end of the first half before Craig Bellamy's men turned the game around in the second half. Brennan was involved in the move finished by Sorba Thomas for 3-2 on 51 minutes before planting home a header from 10 yards from Thomas's cross for 3-3 with 69 minutes on the clock.
Romelu Lukaka then had a goal chalked off by VAR, but with the finishing line in sight, Youri Tielemans crossed for Kevin de Bruyne to volley home the winner from close range, 88 minutes on the clock.
The result leaves Wales second behind current leaders North Macedonia in Group J, with Belgium three points adrift but having played two games less.
Meanwhile, Destiny Udogie was an unused substitute as Italy beat Moldova in WCQ Group I.
