An extension of the quarantine provisions on Thursday also means that most of the players in contention (for the squad) will be placed in the 14-day quarantine upon arrival in Norway, and thus not available. What the NFF has no control over is whether the match on March 26, the playoff round and the European Championships will be cancelled or postponed.
The 80-year-old was one of the leading strikers in English football in the 1960s, having scored in excess of 400 goals in his club career, which saw him represent Chelsea, Tottenham, AC Milan and West Ham. He was also a seasoned England international, scoring 44 goals in 57 appearances, but was absent for his country's World Cup final win over West Germany in 1966 having picked up an injury earlier in the tournament.
I wanted that achievement for myself - to be on that list of Liverpool players that had won something the club never had before. I understand why Klopp wanted it so badly too, because our manager Rafa Benitez was the same. Oxlade-Chamberlain an injury worry for RedsLiverpool keep passing tests - KloppReaction to the Club World Cup finalYou can play it down as much as you like from the outside, but it was an important competition for the club - and they showed that by the way they approached it.
This is the semi-finals of the Italian Cup and Inter will play at home against Napoli. It is also the first meeting, so everything is not decided in this match, but I still think Inter is looking for a positive result. Inter made an incredible turn in the derby against Milan last Sunday, winning 4-2. They were down 0-2 at halftime.
Paper Round’s view: Adding a winger would makes sense for Chelsea as both Willian and Pedro could be eased out of the club. A new senior winger would make sense, and Zaha would be available this winter if his asking price was reached. Not only that - he would not be cup tied for European competition and Chelsea remain in the hunt for the Champions League.
These two are no strangers to the relegation battle. Late bursts of form have guided SPAL away from the bottom three in their last two campaigns. Meanwhile, Genoa stayed up on the final day of last season, having shown relegation form in each of the last four campaigns. There are huge problems for the club to fix, but they continually get dragged into a fight for survival.

Here's what interim boss Freddie Ljungberg said at the break that turned things around, according to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. At half-time, Freddie told us to play with a higher tempo.

In addition, the EFL is mindful of the pressing need for clarity in a number of areas, including the practicalities and timeframes of clubs being able to facilitate a return to training. To address this, clubs have today been issued with the latest draft of the EFL's 'return to training protocols', so that they can prepare appropriately. However, until all outstanding matters are concluded, including finalising a comprehensive testing programme on matchdays and non-matchdays, the EFL board has informed its clubs that a return to training should not take place until 25 May at the earliest.
He said 'forget that Barca stuff, get it in there and get round it'. Then we went and lost the game 2-1. It was incredible.

No Premier League games have yet been played without fansMark Lawrenson: There are going to have to be compromises made - of course there are. The man in the street has been compromised by this, everyone is - we have got a completely different set of rules to live our lives by - so why should football be any different?Finishing the season is the most uncomplicated way of settling everything. And, if it takes place behind closed doors so fans are not put at risk, then is that the worst thing in the world?Of course it will be different, but I think people realise now things have to be different.
Will Brentford continue their rise up the table with a victory at Blackburn in midweek?

Wearing replicas of the first Bayern shirts 120 years ago, to mark the club's birthday, they laboured to add another in the second half with Augsburg keeper Andreas Luthe stopping a point-blank Philippe Coutinho shot and Serge Gnabry scuffing a handful of golden chances. Augsburg wasted their best opportunities late in the game when Florian Niederlechner's shot was blocked by Manuel Neuer and Alfred Finnbogason headed wide in the 81st.

Lecce have a tough run of matches after the restart. After the heavy away loss to AC Milan, they have another tough game away to Juventus. They have a poor away run but an even poorer defensive record. Lecce have conceded at least twice in five straight away Serie A matches and face a Juventus side that has not been conceding a lot. Juventus have an added edge in their scoring; they have a great run at home and have scored two or more in the last seven home games. Seeing the high scoring nature of games involving the two sides, we are backing this one to end 3-0 in favor of Juventus.
The 24-year-old passed a medical on Wednesday and will join the Merseyside club on a four-and-a-half year deal on January 1.

The season got off to a promising start for Isloch Minsk with two wins. Since then, they have lost two in a row and conceded six goals and are only eighth in the table. The visitors are in fifth place and have been putting in some great performances beating some big scalps. Go for a double chance bet on Slavia to win or draw this game.
But he has still enhanced his reputation on the pitch, becoming the first player in Europe's top five leagues to score and assist 10 goals in all competitions this season. Meanwhile, the German side have just bought teenage striking prodigy Erling Braut Haaland from Red Bull Salzburg, so may be prepared to listen to offers. Could Sancho be tempted by a return to the Premier League, where he did not get a chance first time round at Manchester City? He won't come cheap.
Trust in Solskjaer - analysis Youngest Manchester United players to score two or more goals in a European gameBBC Sport football writer Simon StoneWhen Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said during Manchester United's pre-season tour of Australia and Asia that Mason Greenwood was one of the best finishers he had seen, the travelling media took his comments with a pinch of salt. It also seemed a bit weird when Solskjaer decided to keep Greenwood while letting Alexis Sanchez and Romelu Lukaku join Inter Milan.
GOAL! Manchester United 2-0 AZ (Greenwood) THE BOY IS A NATURAL! IT IS RRRIDICULOUS! Garner closes Midtsjo down as he runs across the face of his own box and fouls him, but the ref says nothing, the ball breaks to Greenwood, and he takes a touch then deposits a left-footed scudder into the bottom corner.
Dinamo is very good in attack as it has not been a problem for them lately but defense is a real issue they scored 2 goals at weak defense but only drew 2-2, they scored 2 goals last round at Hermannstadt but lost 4-2 and those two are just relegation candidates really, while at home they conceded a really cheap goal from Chindia but won 4-1. And Sepsis is actually stronger than their current league placement shows and if I were to say which side has better players I would say Sepsis has.
Speaking on the phone from his home, Favalli talks about enduring the illness, the struggle of being isolated, his frustration with football authorities and Italy's community spirit in the face of hardship.

Few of the signings lived up to their billing. But it was a free transfer that caused Pellegrini the biggest problem. Club sources said the decision to sign Roberto as back-up to Fabianski was solely down to Pellegrini and his trusted ally Mario Husillos, who was appointed on a three-year deal around the same time as the Chilean. As it turned out, Roberto - a 33-year-old former Atletico Madrid, Benfica and Espanyol goalkeeper - was terrible.
Our correct score prediction follows the same low-scoring pattern, and we're tipping Palace to eke out a win 1-0. Watford failed to get on the scoresheet in three of their last four Premier League home games, and Palace are searching for their third clean sheet on the spin this weekend.
Sancho has been out-of-sorts for the Bundesliga club this season, while he has also struggled with disciplinary issues off the field.

Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger has said "racism won" after no evidence was found to support his claim of abuse from fans at Tottenham on 22 December. Play was stopped during the Blues' 2-0 win after Germany centre-back Rudiger, 26, said he heard monkey noises. On 6 January, Spurs said they and police had "exhausted" all lines of inquiry but could not "corroborate or contradict" the allegation. Rudiger said: "They never get punished.

There was a lot of pressure to deliver. I scored our second goal from the spot just before half-time. I was confident the keeper would dive. There was no way, given what was at stake in that game that she would stand still. So I put it straight down the middle and thankfully it worked. It felt like a turning point because we went into the changing rooms as high as a kite while Bristol were probably deflated.
Eibar signed off for Christmas with a much needed 3-0 success over Granada at Ipurua to ease their relegation concerns, although Los Armeros are far from safe with just four points separating them from the bottom three ahead of this Saturday's visit to Mestalla.

Brighton forward Alireza Jahanbakhsh's brilliant equaliser denied Chelsea winning back-to-back league matches for the first time since November.
Similar expectations were placed on the 67-year-old when he replaced Alberto Zaccheroni but the UAE have struggled so far in qualifying for Qatar 2022.

After they plummeted towards the relegation zone, Lincoln have steadied themselves of late. It's likely still going to be some time before we see the full effects of a Michael Appleton regime, but under their relatively new manager, the Imps are making steady progress. They've only lost one of their last four, while they're now unbeaten in five at Sincil Bank.
Shakhtyor Soligorsk (R) is not classified as a potentially disputed champion. The baggage of this team is only the achievement of finishing the goal in 6th place last season. That's why not many people are surprised when Shakhtyor Soligorsk (R) only got 1 point on the day of the 2020 campaign.

I got the call and went to see Villa's chief executive Keith Wyness in his office. I was suited and booted and was ready to go down to London for my medical, but it never got that far. Keith told me the deal was off. He said I was too vital to the team in the dressing room, and said: 'I know your situation with your knee. You are not going to start for us, but we want you as a back-up centre-half. It is at times like that you realise that there are some decisions in your career that are not yours to take, but I was not as disappointed about that as when the Inter move fell through.
What on earth has happened? All has not been well at Barcelona for a while. If you’ve just been following their results on the pitch - at least in La Liga, where they have won back-to-back titles over the last two seasons - that might not be obvious. But the frustration over their Champions League failures - three quarter-final exits in the last four seasons, including two crushing defeats to Roma and Liverpool - have lingered, and have then been compounded by defeats in the 2019 Copa del Rey final and last month’s Spanish Super Cup.
The visitors showed that despite their lowly position in the table, they are capable of carving teams open by playing between the lines, and combining that with speedy breakaways. All that was missing was the finishing touch from their leading marksman. Having earlier seen a rising drive tipped over by Dubravka, Pukki was then set through one-on-one against Krul only for Federico Fernandez to clear his goal-bound effort.
But we have players with quality and a great dressing room. Mourinho also refused to divulge his discussions with influential midfielder Christian Eriksen, who is free to leave the club when his contract ends this season.

My old passports have stamps from the likes of Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Azerbaijan, the Faroe Islands and Moldova. Even countries that no longer exist such as the former Yugoslavia. You sometimes had to use a specific passport for a specific country, for example an Israel stamp on your passport might cause issues at the immigration hall in Tehran. One year I counted up how many games I had been to that campaign.
Champions Liverpool ended their campaign in style by coming from behind to beat Newcastle 3-1, while runners-up Manchester City thrashed bottom side Norwich 5-0. Manchester United beat Leicester 2-0 to clinch a Champions League place and deny the Foxes a spot in Europe's elite club competition next season, with Chelsea finishing fourth after a 2-0 win over Wolves.

Diogo Jota had the ball in Bournemouth's net again five minutes after the restart, but the Portuguese' effort was disallowed for offside in the build-up.
