Here we are then, at what is now called the LNER Stadium. Chelsea to make a raft of changes tonight as they visit Lincoln City. #CFC need to build momentum from scratch. 🔵

Lots of Aston Villa-England flags strung up in the Holte End ahead of the first men's international at Villa Park for 20 years.

England players head out for training on a lovely Friday afternoon. All 24 of them, with Stones having left camp this morning with a muscular issue. #CFC youth keeper Ted Curd is joining the seniors for this session but remains with the U20s. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Fair play to Chelsea, who have signed a football legend as their new No11 today. Romário. #CFC

Lovely day for it again. Sonay Kartal looking to reach the #Wimbledon fourth round for the first time, on Court No1

Emma Raducanu beats a #Wimbledon champion to reach the third round, where she’s Aryna Sabalenka…

“She’s No1 in the world right now. But I guess there’s no pressure at all on me in the next round,” she laughs.

Oliver Tarvet having a right good go on Centre Court against Carlos Alcaraz at #Wimbledon. Lost the second set 6-4 after a 6-1 first-set loss that never felt that much of a thrashing. World No733 versus world No2 and defending champion. Astonishing match to be happening at all

Oliver Tarvet, the British qualifier ranked 733rd in the world, begins his #Wimbledon campaign. What an occasion for the 21-year-old from St Albans

Column. They have punched above their weight for so long, but next season will test how enduring the Brentford model truly is. Pivotal - and daunting - time for a club being pillaged for its top assets. #BrentfordFC

Big piece on how money talks and players will suffer at the expanded Club World Cup, which feels like just the latest example of football eating itself

A first-ever England call-up for Trevoh Chalobah this morning, as Ivan Toney and Conor Gallagher are selected under Tuchel for the first time. No Solanke, Bowen.
