Chris Richards

Analysis: Richards took a season-high three shots Sunday, putting one on target for just the second time this season. Although he didn't find the back of the net, it was a solid attacking display for the center back. He also recorded nine clearances, one tackle and one accurate cross in his productive 90 minutes of action.

Plays full game against Portugal

Richards (knee) played the full 90 minutes in Tuesday's 2-0 defeat against Portugal and is fully fit heading back to his club.

Analysis: Richards had been carefully managed throughout the international break after returning to training earlier in the week, but going the distance against Portugal is the strongest possible confirmation that his knee is no longer a concern. The defender should slot straight back into his starting role with the Eagles heading into the final stretch of the Premier League season, with the World Cup on home soil now just two months away.
