Max Rushden returns for an international break Football Weekly Extra along with Barry Glendenning, Jonathan Wilson and Andy Brassell.

We start the pod with the situation in Group D, where a Bale-less Wales and Republic of Ireland are on course for a winner-takes-all clash in Cardiff – or could it be winner-takes-nought? England have given Harry Kane the captain’s armband, a decision forced upon Gareth Southgate after he admitted that his squad is not what he’d like it to be.

We sing Michael O’Neill’s praises with Northern Ireland, and rounding up the rest of the European groups, we hear from Andy on Denmark, Barry on Ryan Babel’s return to the Netherlands set-up and Jonathan Wilson on the quality of Slovenia’s newspapers and Iceland’s cricket pitches.

Moving on to the rest of the world, Jonathan gives us the lowdown on the African qualifiers as the whole panel considers Concacaf and Conmebol together.

Finally we look at some of the other stories doing the rounds, including Harry Redknapp’s unusual intervention at Yeovil, Jupp Heynckes’s reintroduction at old club Bayern Munich and whether our guests would be tracksuit managers or dress more formally for the occasion.

Back on Monday!
