Stoke City winger James McClean has been fined two weeks’ wages by the club for an inappropriate social media post. The 30-year-old Republic of Ireland international has also agreed to delete his Instagram account. He posted a picture of himself wearing a balaclava in front of two children, with the caption “Today's school lesson - History” along with a laughing emoji. I never wanted to cause any offence but I now realise I did so and for that I apologise unreservedly,” he said.
We are going to play with the players we have available. I was worried about not having attacking options on the bench – now I don’t have attacking options on the pitch. His absence means that a combination of Dele Alli, Lucas Moura and Steven Bergwijn are likely to have to combine to fill the striker void.

Rooney 'more than welcome'Midfielder Krystian Bielik, sent off in Monday's 2-1 win against Charlton Athletic, and winger Tom Lawrence are both suspended. It took the first two professional goals of 18-year-old Jason Knight's career for Derby to earn victory against the Addicks. And, with the availability of Jayden Bogle uncertain as the defender recovers from an eye infection, Rams boss Cocu readily admits that it is a "good moment" for Rooney to be available.
In the newspaper interview, Abidal said: "Many players weren't satisfied or working hard and there was also an internal communication problem. The relationship between the coach and the dressing room has always been good, but there are things as an ex-player that I could smell. I told the club what I thought and we reached a decision [on Valverde]. Messi then posted on social media: "Sincerely, I don't like to do these things but I think that people have to be responsible for their jobs and own their decisions.
Mick McCarthy says being denied the chance to potentially lead the Republic of Ireland to a European Championship finals is "hugely disappointing" but he "fully understands" the decision. McCarthy was replaced by Stephen Kenny with immediate effect on Saturday following the postponement of the Republic's Euro play-off with Slovakia. Kenny had been due to succeed McCarthy in August, but Uefa's decision to push Euro 2020 to 2021 led the FAI into bringing forward their Under-21 boss's promotion to manage the senior team.
The 34-year-old’s deflected shot opened the scoring in the first half, but Juve were pegged back after the break when Andreas Cornelius headed in from a corner. Ronaldo restored the home side’s advantage just three minutes later with a low strike that took his tally for the season to 16 league goals, 11 of which have come in his last seven appearances.
There is no reason to name visitors as favorite here, even they could be the light closer to the victory. Torpedo is having their youth team solid through the seasons, and at the home field, they are not an easy catch for anyone. Energetyk is like their seniors, with a lot of surprises and having up and down through the all year.

Meanwhile, Leeds continue to plug away in their bid for promotion. They’ve won their last four games in the Championship to move into the top two. Leeds have also won their last four home league games, keeping three clean sheets in the process. Having won in every home game in which they’ve kept a clean sheet, this side look set for the top.
Away from home they have been particularly poor with four losses, two draws and eleven goals conceded in their last six matched on the road. They've managed to score three in reply but that just hasn't been enough to beat anyone in recent weeks, even sides like Nice (13th at time of match) and Brest (15th ATOM) have managed to steal points off les Girondins so they should be wary here as they travel to Pau.
LONDON, Feb 22 (Reuters) - The Premier League's VAR system was back in the spotlight at Chelsea on Saturday when officials reportedly said they had made a mistake by not recommending a red card for Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Giovani Lo Celso in the Premier League game. The Argentine appeared to stamp on Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta's shin as Spurs lost 2-1 in a battle for fourth place.

Eight of the 15 matches between Bologna and Lecce in the 2000s have finished level: five wins for Bologna and two defeats. On top of that, Lecce are on a streak of home draws. They have seen each of their previous three at this ground finish 2-2, while the visitors have won just 25% of their trips. As a result, we see another 2-2 draw in this clash.
There's not a lot of faces that we can relate to and have conversations with. In 2018, the Football Association announced in an equality action plan that 5% of its leadership roles and 13% of England coaching staff were filled by people from a BAME background. In the same plan, the FA set targets of 11% and 20%, respectively, for 2021. When there's someone from a black background I can go to in the FA with a problem I have within the club, that will be when I know change is happening and not just in my field, also in Parliament," Sterling added.
They will hope for a better turn when they host struggling Fiorentina. Lazio heads to this clash still placed second with 62 points and Fiorentina are 13th with 31 points. A place in the Champions League seems assured for Lazio but they will wish for better – dethroning Juventus, who are four points ahead.
Jesus arrived at Flamengo in June and his side are unbeaten since the first Sunday in August, with performances that are reminiscent of the great 1980s-era side featuring Zico, Junior and Leandro. Already champions-elect of Brazil's Serie A, if they can win in Lima they should become the first team to complete a league and Libertadores double since Pele’s Santos in 1963.
The club filed an appeal with CAS in June in a bid to be able to recruit in the January transfer window, and Lampard was asked at a news conference when a decision could be expected. Very soon, I believe. Days, I think," he replied. I haven't heard any more, so I would wait and reserve judgement (on Chelsea's plans for January) until we get the judgement and see where we want to go from there.

Estudiantes Caseros will host Barracas Central for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the hosts are favorites in this match. Estudiantes are more ambitious team in this season. They are currently on the 2nd place with 32 points. Also, Estudiantes are in solid shape. They have three consecutive victories. Also, we have Barracas Central who's is one of the outsiders in this league. They are currently bottom of the table. The visitors have less potential. Also, they have two consecutive losses. In any case, they are not convincing team and for me they could lose. My pick - Estudiantes to win.
Especially if you're already lacking firepower up front. Aston Villa would have benefitted from a decent period of rest between matches and, to some extent, they have been thrown under the fixture congestion bus. Wolves, on the other hand, get better with every game. Nuno Espirito Santo must not want the season to end. Leander Dendoncker's excellently taken goal and impressive performance may have sealed Villa's fate.
Anthony has got his critics and I am one of the biggest," he said. He scored a number nine's goal against Chelsea, did everything to get the goal against Bruges and this one is more the Anthony we know about. The skill is just mind-blowing. But I want more from him.

Kingsley ComanGetty Images However, he isn’t paying too much attention to the news, all he wants is for people’s safety to be the top priority, and he trusts that matches will be allowed to resume only when it is safe to do so. But the desire to complete this campaign is evident: " We have worked a lot and if we stay two or three months without doing anything, the work done now will not have been useful.
Vitebsk Reserves are going to face Dinamo Brest Reserves. After three matches on away Vitebsk will play at home and there is a chance to get the second win in this new season. Vitebsk scored seven goals and conceded 12 in those matches. They played not bad in those away games and I think that they will play even better at home. Dinamo Brest lost three matches of four and conceded 11 goals. The visitors had never won against Vitebsk on away in history. I pick Vitebsk Reserves to win and I hope that they will prove that they are better
Ceferin rejects 'fake news' that Liverpool will be handed title UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin hit out at the 'fake news' that would have seen Liverpool handed the Premier League title amid the coronavirus pandemic. The Premier League and other top-flight European football leagues have been told by UEFA that they want the current season finished by June 30 “I’ve seen and heard some again fake news that Uefa will advise leagues to finish the championships now and decide that the winners are the ones who are number one now,” Ceferin said.

I told myself that I won't touch Tottenham any more specially when Mourinho come in this team. Still, reason why I pick goals here is that both teams lately score a small number of goals and that this trend must stop somewhere.
The surprise was Portuguese clubs did not look at him seriously until Jorge Jesus, the current Flamengo boss decided to sign him," said Portuguese football writer Jose Delgado. In the media we were asking why Benfica, Sporting or Porto were not going for Fernandes because you could see he was a fantastic player. He was a sure bet and it has proved a great success. The numbers back that up. Since the start of the 2017-18 season, Fernandes has topped the Portuguese Primeira Liga rankings for the most goal involvements (67), most goals outside the penalty area (9), most chances created (239), most shots (271) and most shots on target (114).
There's no much to say about this game other than a home team which has only lost once in their last previously nine games in all competitions against an away team that has just managed one win in their last previous nine games. With Vincenza in clear command at the top of the table all is set for them to be favorites to win this game and increase their gap at the top. The loss of form will surely make it harder for the away team to beat such a strong hone win especially since they were also outclassed the last time they met.
Red Devils win in duel of the newcomers Manchester United and Tottenham may have been playing their football in the FA Women's Championship last season but they were duking it out in FA WSL action on Sunday, with Casey Stoney's Red Devils running home 3-0 winners. A Katie Zelem double and a Jess Sigsworth effort proved too much for the visitors to handle at Leigh Sports Village, with United's only regret being substitute Ella Toone's stoppage-time dismissal after a late scuffle.
That won’t come before the game tonight, though, which is crucial for both sides. Chelsea can shut down a rival, but Arsenal can keep their domestic season alive. Should be a pearler.
