difficult phases in a match. arsenal forwards bukayo saka and gabriel martinelli missed training on monday but midfielder emile smith—rowe was applauded onto the field by his teammates after returning earlier than expected from a knee injury sustained in october. having confirmed their place as group winners in the knock out stages with a resounding 6—0 home win over lens. mikel arteta is likely to rotate his team as they travel to the netherlands to take on psv eindhoven, psv sit ten points clear at the top of the eredivisie and have also confirmed their place in the last—16 as group runners up. extremely dominant and not only this is but last season as well and huge credit to them and the staff and players and we look at the record that they have here, it is incredible and so, left to do much to beat them.
12:50 am
we'll have to do much to beat them. nigeria striker victor osimhen has been named african footballer of the year. the 2a year old had been the frontrunner after being voted the highest—ranked african player in the 2023 men's ballon d'or vote, finishing eighth. he scored 26 goals last season to help napoli to their first serie a title in 33 years and becomes the first nigerian to pick up the award since nwankwo kanu back in 1999. barcelona star asisat oshoala made it a night to remember for nigeria, winning the women's player of the year title for a record—extending sixth time. she retains the award she won last year. with cricket and there's a surprise inclusion in england's 16 man suqad for their their test series in india injanuary. somerset�*s 20 year old spinne, shoaib bashir, is one of 3 uncapped players despite only making his first class debut in the summer. but the managing director of the england cricket team, rob key, says he's a player they're keen to develop we saw him in county cricket.
12:51 am
we saw the way he pulled the ball, then you see the potential, then you try and find out a little bit about him, his character. then we had him on the lines — brendan and myself went out to see him in the camp. we tried to put him in the conditions that are similar to what we will see, and bashir, you think his ceiling is pretty high. life it's always about how good someone's good is, not how bad someone's bad is. he's very raw. he's going for experience, but we won't be afraid to play him if required. and this is the start of his journey where hopefully we will see a world—class spinner in the future. and earlier we caught up with annie chaive the county cricket matters editor to hear her thoughts on bashir. i think it's been a long time since we've had folks he's very tall and gangly. bags of enthusiasm,
12:52 am
a good off—spinner, and he can bat a little bit. i think basically, he's got a lot of potential and that's what they are gearing up behind really, i think. we'll stay with cricket because when derbyshire's anuj dal received racial abuse on social media he turned his anger into an 18 month quest to hold his abuser to account. the allrounder now wants others to know that there 5 a path to restorative justice and how the process led to him receiving a written apology from his abuser. he 5 been speaking to our sports correspondentjoe wilson. a professional cricketer, the vice chair of the cricketers association, and he fought abuse with restorative justice. that was a very satisfying feeling, knowing that i had covered all bases, and ifelt as though i needed to do what i had done to be able to move on from it. it all began last spring. in the wake of azeem rafiq's racism testimony, anuj dal
12:53 am
spoke to me eloquently about the opportunity to let cricket grow. then on social media, anuj dal himself was racially abuse. himself was racially abused. i remember we were set there at a team meeting, out there to go play against middlesex, and i was in full cricket mode — all of a sudden, i get a notification on my phone, i look at it and think, "what on earth is going on?" it was just a direct racial abuse comment directed to me based on the piece i did with you. anuj dal was supported by the police and by counsellors from restorative justice. they found the abuser, the mediated, and communicated a form of apology, which left me with one big question. do you think you're sort of justice works, did it work for you? 100% and it worked for me. i feel comfortable knowing i put him quite through a grueling and gruesome process to actually go through it.
12:54 am
and i've essentially turned his life around. you know, the police have got a marker on him, through the process he wasn't able to leave the country. there will be consequences for these individuals, and hopefully now encouraging more people to say, "you don't need to hide in the shadows, you don't need to brush under the carpet. there is a process in place, support network in place." anuj dal has a new contract with the best years ahead of him, and the support knowing he wonjustice. joe wilson, bbc news. you can get all the latest sports news at from the bbc sport app, orfrom our website — that's bbc.com/sport. from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye.
12:55 am
hello. tuesday is going to bring a lot of cloud and the skies will look rather like the picture behind me. on top of that, shower clouds are expected as well. some of the showers could be heavy, the odd crack of thunder and additionally it will be quite windy around south western parts of the uk, but it's going to be relatively mild first thing. now the satellite picture shows fairly clear weather as we're in between weather systems, or we were during monday. but now the clear skies are giving way to this area of low pressure, which will be moving across the uk during the course of tuesday and will continue to affect our weather at least for a time on wednesday. so the forecast then through the early hours, we will have had some rain across northern ireland, south western scotland, the north of england too rain elsewhere, but also one or two clear spells and really quite mild in the south. 11 degrees in plymouth, about that in london. but for the most part, it's about 5 to eight degrees. so certainly no frost first thing.
12:56 am
and the forecast then for tuesday. so here's that area of low pressure as it slowly barrels across the uk. here's the weather front spiraling into the centre of the low where the winds are actually really light. so any showers that circle within this low right in the middle could last for quite some time. they'll be slow—moving, very little wind to push them around. but just to the south, around the south western approaches cornwall, devon, central southern england, the winds really could be quite gusty, 40, 50 mile an hour winds around coasts. on top of that, an onshore wind here around eastern scotland and the north east of england will make things really wet and it could last right until wednesday. now, on wednesday, finally, that low pressure pulls away out towards the west, high pressure builds. and that means there'll be some sunshine, for example, in glasgow, liverpool and in cardiff. but the east coasts could stay quite cloudy, gloomy and feel chilly in that breeze off the north sea. here's a look at thursday and into the weekend, really. eventually, all weather fronts clear, high pressure starts to build from the southwest. but there is a lot of cloud stuck in this area of high pressure.
12:57 am
so not necessarily all that sunny. and in fact, the northwest of the uk may continue to be brushed by weather fronts coming off the atlantic. so yes, for the majority of us, the weather settles down come friday and should stay dry and bright with a bit of luck into the weekend. but the north could be wet at times. bye— bye.
