Episode notes

Christian Eriksen was saved by his ICD implant, after he collapsed during an international match between Denmark and Ukraine. After the unsettling scenes took place again on live television, where does his future in football lie?

England saw out a 1-0 win in their warm up game against New Zealand, but how much did we actually learn about Thomas Tuchel's side?

And over in Stockholm, the Diamond League gave us new finishers and potentially new rivals... has Brit Keely Hodgkinson's domination been seriously challenged by Switzerland's Audrey Werro? and how much can 'rivalry' actually help a career?

Gabby and Mark are joined by former Premier League defender Nedum Onouha.
