paying aluko an amount understood to be £80,000 to avoid disruption to the england team ahead of this summer's european championships, and not prevent disclosure. why speak out now? i feel like there are a lot of half—truths out in the public, and it is in the public interest now to understand the severity of this case. to understand that this isn't something i decided to fabricate out of the blue, this wasn't a bitter, impassioned revenge on the england manager. this was something i was asked to do. aluko has won 102 caps for her country, but she says she now fears her experience could deter other players from raising concerns. manchester city manager pep guardiola says he hopes his players can learn from the mistakes they made the last time they played everton. city were thumped 4—0 last season, but face them tonight in the premier league, having since spent £200 million on players. everton could give gylfi sigurdsson his debut, having signed for a club—record fee, thought to be £16 million. six days, we've played three away

games, difficult ones. it starts on monday, city, ok, a nice challenge. they are strong, and we like to be strong. 0k, full confident. we play how we play and we do the maximum to get a good result. the game was there, they arrived four times and scored four goals, and we were not solid defensively. of course, hopefully we can learn about that. the same way we win, the same way we lose. scotland manager gordon strachan has handed recalls to five players for the vital world cup qualifiers against lithuania and malta next month. hibernian's steven whittaker is back for the first time in nearly a year and a half for the must—win group f fixtures. we've got to try and win both games.
