The Debate: Why Sadio Mane must be PFA Player of the Year "We are all football executives responsible for the well-being and sustainability of the clubs we manage, which are faced with a real existential threat," ECA chairman Andre Agnelli, who is president of Serie A champions Juventus, said in the letter.
Bayern Munich scored two goals in injury time to see off Freiburg and move up to third in the Bundesliga. The visitors went ahead when Robert Lewandowski slid in to score following Alphonso Davies' fine left-wing run. Freiburg's Vincenzo Grifo volleyed in an equaliser from Janik Haberer's pass. But Bayern, who began the day in fifth, scored in the 92nd minute with Joshua Zirkzee's close-range effort before Serge Gnabry added a third after his first attempt had been blocked.

Thursday night’s first Coppa Italia tie pits together two sides who met in Serie A last season. Frosinone are looking to bounce back after dropping out of the top flight last term, but they are sitting outside the playoff spots in the second tier after a poor start. The visitors are seen as the underdogs for this trip, but can they pull off a cup shock?
He is ruled out for the next two months after fracturing his right ankle against Levante, his second game since returning from a three-month layoff from another ankle injury. There was also hope that Karim Benzema might end his role as a supporting actor in Madrid's attack and take over from Ronaldo, particularly after he made a flying start to this campaign.
They are now talking to the officials and going through the right procedure. No matter what stadium it is in, we do not want that in the game. A statement from Tottenham read: "We are now conducting a thorough investigation which will include liaising with Chelsea and their players for their observations.
Smalling set for England return Manchester United’s on-loan defender Chris Smalling could be in line for a return to the England national setup. The 29-year-old former Fulham centre-back has not played for England for two years, but a recent scouting trip by the team’s boss Gareth Southgate has confirmed his dramatic improvement while in Italy, playing for Roma.
The emphasis was on physical tasks. Our biggest concern has been about the physical side of things. There have been overloads and as a result some muscle injuries. We have to do constant assessments and medical and fatigue tests to try to gauge the condition of the players so we can prevent injuries or keep them to a minimum. On a day-by-day basis we have modified many of the tasks we had originally programmed because we found out that when put into practice they needed to be altered.
Lawro's prediction: 1-1 - Derby to win the replayQPR V Sheff Wed (20:00 GMT)Championship (14th)vChampionship (10th)Who did they beat?3R: Swansea (C) H3R: Brighton (PL) AWhen you get into the FA Cup fourth round as a Championship club you always want a Premier League team next - especially Sheffield Wednesday, who have already beaten a top-flight team in round three. Media playback is not supported on this device FA Cup: Brighton & Hove Albion 0-1 Sheffield Wednesday highlights So, this won't have been a draw either team wanted, although both of them will still have promotion aspirations too - they might be in mid-table but, the way that division is, neither of them are out of that race yet.
Smorgon is a surprise package in this start of the season and it has to do with the fact that they have so far the best defense in the league with 5 clean sheets in a row they only conceded in the first round while away from home at tough Sputnik side where they also had the lead for most of the game but conceded in the 89 minute to only draw 1-1 in the end. While the only other draw came for them away from home at Orsha which is 3-1-0 at home this season as it was a 0-0 draw.
Sociedad is 4th in La Liga final table. They are equal in points but more on the sub-index than the 5th ranked team Getafe. In the early game of the 28th round, Getafe lost to Granada. Therefore, if you defeat Osasuna the next time you play, Sociedad will rise and consolidate your position in the group of four leading teams.
I know for a fact that I’ll be doing that in the near future now and I urge everyone to do the same. I hope everyone can accept my apology and we can move on from this. Hopefully obviously in the near future we can all be out enjoying ourselves again once this has all boiled over. Of course this is all the more jarring considering that Grealish’s previous tweet was a plea for everyone to stay at home and observe social distancing suggestions and so forth.

Watford captain Troy Deeney says he will not return to training because he fears for his family's health amid the coronavirus pandemic. Premier League teams are starting non-contact training from Tuesday. Deeney does not want to put his baby, who has had breathing difficulties, "in more danger" and has raised concerns over the increased risk to black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) players. We're due back in this week, I've said I'm not going in," Deeney, 31, said.
There is little fault in their attack though, having failed to score in just one of the seven matches, and understandably against Borussia Dortmund. In their last home match, Hertha lost 4-1 to Eintracht Frankfurt courtesy of a second half capitulation, after taking a 24th minute lead. They will be keen to avoid a repeat.

A quick look at the league table may suggest that Harrogate are the most likely side to come out on top in this fixture, but the fact that they have only won three of their 13 away matches to date suggests it is not a result which can be relied upon. Instead, we think that the recent improvement by the hosts in front of goal combined with the fact that the visitors are rarely involved in a game where both teams fail to find the back of the net suggests that backing both teams to score is the way to go.
Full marks to the Liverpool players," ex-Aston Villa midfielder Andy Townsend said on BBC Radio 5 live. They played with courage, rattled Villa's cage a little bit at the beginning but ultimately, as expected, Villa won. Former Liverpool midfielder Jamie Redknapp praised the youngsters' composure, particularly early in the game. The kids started so well," he said on Sky Sports. It's never been a 5-0 game.
It wasn't often any midfielder came out on the winning side in a battle with either of them. They were serial winners and world class footballers. The closest thing we have to it now is probably when Liverpool take on Manchester City. We are where we are with it and have to enjoy it as we used to, but it does bring back some feelings and memories when you see how much these two teams hated each other.
We're like everybody else. Thankfully, we've got a superb doctor here and he will keep us informed of what we have to do. We're glued to the TV for where it's going to go next and let's hope it doesn't get any worse in this country.

Real Madrid winger Lucas Vazquez has broken a toe in his left foot after reportedly "dropping a weight" on to it while doing extra work in the gym. Vazquez, 28, has already spent six weeks out with a calf injury, but is now sidelined for another month. The Spain international has played nine games this season, scoring once. Former Real Madrid goalkeeper Santiago Canizares famously missed the 2002 World Cup after dropping a bottle of aftershave on to his right foot.
Woodward has been the target of violent chants in the last couple of weeks. Paper Round’s view: Obviously people will be clear that this is beyond the pale, in terms of bringing football matters into Woodward’s personal life. The development shows just how poisonous the relationship is between the owners, Woodward, and United fans, who have seen their side turn into a figure of fun - it is hard to see how this will improve in the near future.

He added that his players are still behind him, having impressed in victory over Chelsea last month.
Gregg was named goalkeeper of the year after helping Northern Ireland to the quarter-finals of the 1958 World CupThe goalkeeper was determined that the tragic event would not define his career, or indeed his life. I would be telling lies if I said that I thought about it all the time. In fact I would go insane," he said in 2018 before a service marking 60 years since the disaster. I know the media would like to talk about what happened on a runway.
Barring the odd staunch optimist, the overriding mood is one of resignation at an impending defeat, with predictions veering from a cruel, farcical last-minute Liverpool winner (a la Divock Origi's Jordan Pickford-assisted goal last season) to complete an utter humiliation. You can hardly blame Toffees fans for their dire outlook.

Referee Paolo Valeri did not initially award the penalty but pointed to the spot after going over to review the incident on the pitchside monitor. Ronaldo slotted his kick straight down the middle. Before the late drama it was another veteran, 42-year-old Gianluigi Buffon, who had been the game's star performer. The Juve goalkeeper, who first won this trophy in 1999, made good saves from Rebic and Hernandez before a superb one-handed stop pushed a Zlatan Ibrahimovic effort into the side-netting.
