Armed with an impressive academic record and experience as a rugby fly-half, the teenager is anything but typical Josh King is talking with pride about how his mother, Michelle, a university lecturer, has almost finished her PhD in sickle cell disease. The Fulham attacking midfielder, who is in the England squad for the Nations League matches against Croatia and Spain this week, mentions that his father, Steve, is a lawyer and says he might have liked to follow in his footsteps if it had not worked out for him on the pitch. King’s background is not that of a typical footballer. Privately educated at Hampton School in south-west London, he aced his GCSEs, achieving A or A* in his 10 subjects. He went on to study part-time for A-levels in French, maths and psychology, getting grades of A, C and D – pretty impressive, especially when you consider he sat the exams in a hotel suite in Romania in the summer of last year while playing for England at the European Under-19 Championship.

Midfielder’s spectacular strikes rescued a frustrating day, only for celebrations to reignite dialogue that has followed him through his career It was just what they needed at just the right time. For a tricky first half and beyond, Elversberg had been a stone in Borussia Dortmund’s shoe, the promoted side not just keeping the home team at bay but keeping them honest, nourishing ambitions of their own. “The fatigue was clearly visible,” said the sporting director, Ole Book, to Sky after a week which had contained Der Klassiker in Munich and a hard-fought Champions League victory over Betis. “We were a bit too focused on managing the game, which was understandable.” Enter Felix Nmecha. BVB have enjoyed a largely excellent start to the season, are unbeaten and level on points with Bayern Munich at the top; Bayern lead, unsurprisingly, thanks to their superior goal difference. It is a gap which has been widened by Dortmund being far from prolific, a facet which looked as if it might undercut their efforts to roll over their visitors on Saturday, especially in the absence of the injured centre-forward Serhou Guirassy.
