EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Freddie Ljungberg speaks of his pride as two of his former Arsenal academy prospects face each other at the World Cup with England's Bukayo Saka set to take on the United States' Yunus Musah

Freddie Ljungberg will find his heart beating faster than usual on Friday night.

Not because he is nervous or anxious about the result as England stride out to face the USA at the Al Bayt Stadium. But rather because his heart will be bursting with pride.

Two of his former players are set to go head-to-head here in Qatar and Ljungberg won’t be able to take his eyes off it.

Fresh from his brilliant brace in England’s opening game win over Iran on Monday night, Bukayo Saka is expected to keep his place in the England team.
