John Stones and Nicolas Otamendi have also missed games and lacked form, leaving Fernandinho as clear first choice in the position.

That’s 20 solid years of kicking balls into nets.
Regular testing could create a headache from a practical standpoint, because it is impossible to know whether a player is already infected when he takes to the pitch. It takes a couple of days before someone, who has contracted the virus, tests positive," Martin Eichner, an epidemiologist from University of Tubingen, explains. He dismisses the option of faster detection tests that have been in development, as they are not fully reliable yet.
World soccer's ruling body also confirmed that its secretary general Fatma Samoura's role as "general delegate for Africa" had ended on Feb.

Last night, after a 2-1 defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt, he was still maintaining that “I think today we improve”. Statistics told another story, with Arsenal’s chances created drying up and the team conceding more shots on target than ever before. It was, by the end, a considerable mess. A clear failure of management in all facets.
Subs - Bale 5, Jovic 6, Vinicius 5. KEY MOMENTS 7’ Valverde with the shot! That was a ferocious strike from the young midfielder, but Domenech gets down to make the diving save and push the ball away from goal. That was a good stop from the keeper. KROOS. It's another low drive from outside the penalty area for Domenech to deal with and he does so once again.

One player might say, 'I can afford a 30% cut'; another might say, 'I can only afford 5%,'" he said. I don't think that would cause any dressing room problems. The players union in England has also questioned the league's public call for wage reductions, and Rooney said players were in a "no-win situation".
Jones went the extra mile and the picture became hugely famous. Booking a seat on the plane England 4-2 Czechoslovakia, 25 April 1990If you want an illustration of just how much football changed in the early 1990s - partially fuelled by Gascoigne - there were just 21,000 fans inside Wembley for this friendly as Bobby Robson finalised his World Cup squad. Gazza was given just his second start for the Three Lions and secured a spot on the plane with a dominant performance, capped with a fine late goal, surging into the area, left foot this time, laced into the roof of the net.
The hosts have lost their last three matches in all competitions and are without a win in their last three league games, while Woking have only lost two of their last six matches in league and cup but have also only won once which is why we have backed a double chance bet rather than an outright win for the visitors.
Sunderland have only lost one of their nine home games this season and Blackpool have only lost once on the road and have drawn six of their nine away games, which suggests that a draw is the most likely result this weekend.

BUDAPEST, Dec 6 (Reuters) - Former Barcelona and Brazil striker Ronaldinho has backed Pep Guardiola to end his Champions League barren run and win the trophy with Manchester City. It's a very difficult competition, but he is a very good coach with a great team at his disposal so they can break through at any moment," Ronaldinho told Reuters in Budapest, where he was promoting teqball, a hybrid sport mixing football with table tennis.
We struggled with energy levels and they probably had the better chances, but we're happy with a point. The players dug deep today. I've enjoyed it but I knew it was going to be tough today. The boys were on their last legs to be honest, after working so hard in the past three games. We still covered every blade of grass - we just lacked a bit of quality in the final third. On Carlo Ancelotti: "What he's done in the game is incredible so I can't wait to get started working with him.
Chelsea have been poor for over a month now. Were their manager not deemed a club legend then it is not too far a stretch to say that the King's Road would be awash with middle-aged men dressed like a cross between a Peaky Blinder and a club shop mannequin decrying this fraud as not understanding the ethos of a club and its history.
Atletico Madrid are in La Liga action this weekend when they travel to play Espanyol at the Estadio Cornellà-El Prat on Sunday.

Lawro's prediction: 2-0Tom's prediction: 2-0 Man Utd v Man City (16:30 GMT)United look a lot better of late, and they have a realistic chance of finishing in the Champions League places. I have been impressed by City recently too though. Kevin de Bruyne's form is a big reason I am expecting Pep Guardiola's side to kick on between now and the rest of the season, but he is a doubt for this one because of a shoulder injury.
Harry Maguire has been named as the new Manchester United captain just five months after joining the club from Leicester City. The England centre-half succeeds left-back Ashley Young, who is close to completing a move to Inter Milan.

Everything about him tells me is a leader," said United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
I really not believe that I see so good odds on goals in this match from Indian second league. I will in any case take it, because I think that is pretty real. So, Aizwal is team who is very efficient and this team is in last three matches played every time with three or more goals. In that period, they are played 2-1, 4-1 and 1-3, while their rival - Mohun Bagan is team who is playing on same level. In last few matches, they are played 4-2, 0-1, 0-2 and similar. Yes, over is ok for me here, really is.
I can't believe I'm the one winning in this field, it's been an incredible year," Rapinoe said in a recorded message. I want to thank my team mates and the US federation.

But we missed our chance and in the replay we couldn't deal with it. But when I left the stadium after that first game people knew me, they were coming up to me in the streets, I was kissing babies.

Was Kylian Mbappe paying Erling Braut Haaland a compliment or having a little dig?The France striker led his Paris St-Germain team-mates in mimicking Haaland's trademark 'Zen' celebration after knocking the Norwegian striker's Borussia Dortmund team out of the Champions League. After celebrating on the pitch in front of empty stands at a Parc des Princes closed to spectators because of coronavirus, Mbappe encouraged his jubilant team-mates to strike the same pose in the changing room for an Instagram live video.
Lyon faces Nice in this match for Ligue 1. Both teams are not doing as well as they were doing last year. Nice has a good team but lost some of the good players and they lost their identity. Lyon still has a super team but had a really bad start losing and drawing a lot of games they were controlling. This time I believe the home team will win. They have a stronger squad, they are now playing very well and the momentum they built is incredible. Playing at home I do not see them not winning this game. M

It was Racing's first title in 35 years.

At Santa Fe the fans absolutely loved him because he was a player who would always storm in to tackles and give 100%," said Worswick.
Barnsley may not have won since the opening day of the season, but they are still making waves in the second tier.

But some kind of compensation will almost certainly have to be paid. Last weekend BBC Sport revealed that football's senior medical experts, along with their counterparts in rugby, racing and cricket, were to be invited to a series of virtual meetings, in what was described to me as a "quickening of the pace" in preparations for a resumption. Ministers continued to make supportive statements to the media and in parliament.
