hello from the bbc sport centre. we start with football and what now for raheem sterling, after he was left out of the chelsea squad that lost their opening premier league game of the season 2—0 to manchester city? moments after the team news was announced, his representatives put out a statement saying they wanted "clarity" over his role at the club. it's likley to be a continuing theme for new manager, enzo maresca, who currently has a squad of more than a0 players. well, joining us now is our football reporter nizaar kinsella. can you see any way back for raheem sterling? does he stay at chelsea? i think this will be causing huge tension until the 30th of august when the transfer window closes, because until then, i can see him being frozen out entirely based on what we saw the other day and what we have had the manager say, calling
11:46 am
it a technical decision to leave out raheem sterling. so, there is at the other question of where he goes next. will he actually lived? will clubs be to him? will they pay as huge wages? that will be a major question. ifeel the huge wages? that will be a major question. i feel the answer could huge wages? that will be a major question. ifeel the answer could be no. i can see that chelsea have tried to push him out, but they have failed to get him out because there is a lack of interest in paying the £300,000 per week wages and transfer fee on top of that. so, yes, i could see him being there after the transfer window closes, and then it is up to the manager to reintegrate the guy or keep them out on the fringes. sterling's not the only player whose likely to be unhappy. enzo maresca can't keep a squad of 40—plus players happy. how do you do that? how do you keep all of those players happily? there are some of them playing in a separate group, and these are major international stars who are not involved anywhere near the first—team squad. then you have set
11:47 am
another ones like conor gallagher who are way out on the fringes as well and perhaps a training alone. another player was left out because of a technical decision. there are questions about ben chilwell, an england international, what is his feature? huge doubts about that. the oversized squad creates a problem not only for raheem sterling but also a host of other players. yes, they have shown that they can get 11 good players out on the pitch against manchester city. chelsea played pretty well, but it is the number a0 that is the problem and the worry, because they have too many players. the worry, because they have too many maven-— the worry, because they have too many players. briefly, everybody is a little puzzled _ many players. briefly, everybody is a little puzzled by _ many players. briefly, everybody is a little puzzled by the _ many players. briefly, everybody is a little puzzled by the transfer - a little puzzled by the transfer policy. inside chelsea comedy think that there is a plan?— that there is a plan? there is a lan, that there is a plan? there is a plan. but _ that there is a plan? there is a plan. but may be _ that there is a plan? there is a plan, but may be the - that there is a plan? there is a plan, but may be the plan - that there is a plan? there is a plan, but may be the plan is i that there is a plan? there is a - plan, but may be the plan is lacking that human touch. we are seeing the issues roll out like this, but they aren't putting together a decent squad, young squad, they believe they can finish in the top four and perhaps win a trophy this season. thank you forjoining us.
11:48 am
leicester city make their return to the premier league later when they host tottenham. they were promoted last season under enzo maresca before he headed to chelsea in the summer and the former nottingham forest boss steve cooper took charge. he's looking forward to managing a top tier side again. it's an exciting challenge, a good challenge. it's one that once i knew was what it was i wanted to do. and, um, like i said, it's been a good preseason whilst sort of transitioning back to becoming a premier league team. so, um, you know, really looking forward to, to continuing that challenge the next step of the season starting. i think when you play a promoted side in the opening round of the season at their place, it isn't going to be an easy game. you know the crowd will be up for it. i'm sure there'll be plenty of excitement for them being back in the premier league. so it's going to be a, you know, a tough test for us. but at the same time, we saw last year how important it is to try and get off to a positive start
11:49 am
in the premier league. and you know, that's what we're going to be trying to do. the world number one jannik sinner is through to the final of the cincinatti open. he beat alexander zverez in a three—set thriller. sinner took the first set on a tie break, but lost the second 5—7. the final set also went to a tie break which he eventually won 7—a. he'll now play frances tiafoe who beat holger runer in the other semifinal. in the women's draw, aryna sabalenka defeated world number one iga swiatek for the first time this season to reach the final. having lost to her twice, in finals, sabalenka won in straight sets 6—3, 6—3— she'll now facejessica pegula who beat powla badosa 6—2 3—6 6—3 in the other semifinal. in golf, hideki matsuyama has won the stjude championship but he had an almighty wobble on the home stretch. he had two bogeys and a double bogey from the 12th to the 15th holes, but recovered to finish on i7—under, two shots ahead of xander schauffele and victor hovland. elsewhere, brookes koepka beatjon rahm in a playoff to win
11:50 am
the greenbrier invitational. he shot a 7—under par 63 in the final round to tie with rahm, then won it with a par on the first playoff hole. and another us golf star taking home a trophy is lauren coughlin. she won the women's scottish open at dundonald links in ayrshire finishing on 15 under par. it's her second title in three weeks after winning the canadian women's open in late july. you know, i played super solid all four days, and just kind of tried to let the wind do what it did and not try to fight it too much. and i was able to kind ofjust hit the ball where i was trying to most of the time, and a good distance, and then make some putts. it is kind of unbelievable, two in three weeks is pretty crazy, or three events, but i just kind of stuck in there, tried to stay as present as i could, and just got some putts to drop there at the end.
11:51 am
and that's all the sport for now. in italy, one person has been confirmed dead and six others are still missing after a luxury british—registered yacht carrying 22 people has sunk in a sudden incident off the southern coast of italy. these are the latest pictures from the scene. the italian coastguard says four britons, two americans and a canadian citizen are missing. 15 other people were rescued. local media reported that eight of those 15, including a one—year—old child, were transferred to local hospitals. divers from the fire department are continuing searches in the area where the vessel was last seen — off the coast of sicily. the coastguard said in a statement that the 56—metre—long luxury sailboat was hit by a violent storm at sunrise. penguins, tigers and mokeys are just some of the animals that will be weighed at london zoo for their annual audit. the regents park zoo is home to more
11:52 am
than 10,000 animals and the weigh in allows keepers to record vital information that can help monitor the health and well—being of many threatened species. the keepers have to use clever tactics to entice the animals to cooperate and be measured. let's speak to our reporter, sam harrison who is at london zoo. good morning. yes, a hugely exciting day for visitors here at london zoo. it is the way in time, a really important day in the calendar when these animals in all shapes and sizes have to get on the scales, get weight, get their height taken, and this is really important for conservation efforts. the data is shared around the world. species that are rarer really benefit from being documented in this way. so, it is a massive day for everyone here. you may be able to guess where i am. i have my wellington boots on. behind me we have humboldt penguins. they are quite patiently waiting to be weighed. it is quite a chaotic

11:57 am
but windy in the coasts adjacent to the irish sea. temperatures 13 to about 25, possibly 26 or 27 depending on the amount of sunshine in the southeast. through this evening and overnight, the rain advances eastwards. we could still be the odd heavy bursts or rumble of thunder. we could still see the odd heavy bursts or rumble of thunder. some clear skies still windy. some clear skies, still windy. it's worth having a look out for the supermoon because it is lovely if you do get to see it, and still humid across the southeast, but not so for the rest of the uk. so that takes us into tomorrow. we start with the dregs of today's front in the south east, producing clouds and patchy light rain that clears. then we're into sunshine and blustery showers. windy, especially in the northern half of the country, where the showers will be heaviest. you might hear the rumble of thunder from those as well, and temperatures 1a to about 23, maybe 2a degrees. so then into wednesday, we've got a ridge of high pressure across the south. so we start off on a fine note. the cloud building here through the day with scattered showers in the west. but low pressure is going to be bringing in some heavy rain, particularly so across western scotland. but we'll see some of that get
11:58 am
into northern ireland and the rest of scotland through the course of the day, and it's going to be windy. temperatures 13 to about 22 degrees into thursday. temperatures 13 to about 22 degrees. into thursday, low pressure still with us, with this cold front producing the rain tied up in this with the remnants of hurricane ernesto. so again, we'll see a fair bit of rain from this for a time. behind it we'll see brighter skies follow in and some blustery showers. temperatures on thursday 1a in lerwick in stornoway to highs of 22 or 23 in the southeast.
