where places in next year's world cup in russia will be decided — england can guarantee qualification for the tournament with a win against slovenia at wembley on thursday. but manager gareth southgate has a few injury concerns ahead of the game. with news of that and of a special tribute to sir bobby charlton — here's our senior football reporter ian dennis. it is quite fitting that in a week where england, who can seal their place for next summer's world cup finals in russia, that the fa a world cup winner here today. in recognition not only of his achievements but to mark his upcoming 80th birthday, the pitchy at saint georges park has been renamed the serb bobby charlton pitch. a move that clearly humbled the former manchester united star and players were delighted and honoured to meet in —— serb bobby charlton. it was amazing to meet him, and see such a great

inspiration in england. to get to see him come and meet him, albeit briefly, was amazing. to hear him speak and hear the values and comparison to the facilities that he had, to what we have now, it is amazing. england are currently five points clear at the top of their group with two games to play that ahead of thursday's match against slovenia at wembley, they have doubts with defender philjones and fabian delph, they both sat out of training and are being assessed by the fa's medical staff. also absent at training to date werejordan henderson, daniel sturridge of liverpool and michael keane because they were playing yesterday and went to recovery sessions. gordon strachan says there is no better position in football then to better position in football then to be in charge of your own destiny! the players beat slovakia and slovenia and they are guaranteed

second in their world cup qualifying group that their opponents are buying to reach the play—offs as alistair lamont reports. back at the national stadium ahead of the final home match in this world cup qualifying campaign, slovakia, the opponents, as the squad continues their quest for second place. opponents, as the squad continues their quest for second placem opponents, as the squad continues their quest for second place. it is and tense as it can be sometimes. in this position, this group of lads and a couple who are not here put us ina and a couple who are not here put us in a position where we can. we have to decide what we do with the future. there is nothing better in football, and you can decide how your future is football, and you can decide how yourfuture is going football, and you can decide how your future is going to football, and you can decide how yourfuture is going to be. football, and you can decide how your future is going to be. in the draw against england injune, the scenario for the scottish players could not be more clear. with remaining four games, if you win them, you finish second. with lithuania and mortar done, they are halfway towards the target but the remaining games are more awkward ——

malta. especially when you look at the absentees. but there are alternatives... it is a chance for people like myself in the squad to make a people like myself in the squad to makea name people like myself in the squad to make a name for ourselves and the heroes. they have been big players for us in the campaign. we do have a really good midfield. but i have been doing is training hard, and keep myself in the manager's thoughts. he and callum mcgregor have played their way into contention but scotland have a strong slovakia side, a draw should be enough for them to finish second. weiri be enough for them to finish second. weir i do not think that slovakia come on the defence, because they played very well against england, a very strong team. the first 20 minutes came very well with the ball, scoring goals, and i think is that —— that is the way to come to scotland. play this football. slovakia, like scotland, could do

with a favour from england. if they beat scotland's final opponent, slovenia, it all but removes the slovenians in the race for second place. jonathan rea returned home to northern ireland last night after securing the world superbike championship for the third successive year. he's the third rider in the history of the sport to achieve that and did it with two rounds to spare. steven watson reports... back home with his family after a momentous weekend. is that the moon? as jonathan wright touched down in belfast, the reality of his success down in belfast, the reality of his su ccess was down in belfast, the reality of his success was finally sinking in... —— jonathan rae. nobody sees the pressure it puts on the family. their lives are dedicated, my siblings, to give me the best possible start. i never give up on the dream. this makes all of the

hugely emotionally charged issue, isn't it? good evening, it is very emotional. gerard pique, in particular, was very emotional yesterday after the game, when he spoke to the media which was brave for him to do. admirable of him because he did not have too. he fronted up and came to talk. he was very emotional on this topic and i think the point that needs to be emphasised from him is that he is supporting, as the club are, having a legal referendum. he has never come out and said you wanted independence, for catalunya, come out and said you wanted independence, for catalu nya, what come out and said you wanted independence, for catalunya, what he is saying is we should have a referendum. andy, the barcelona game yesterday, behind closed doors, as they say, some people have spoken out today in criticism of the decision, was that the right move? you can look at so many sites. some people say they should have let the fa ns people say they should have let the fans in, some say they should not

have let the sides in at all. two barcelona board members resigned today in protest at the decision because they felt the game should not have been played in any circumstances. i think the club were put ina circumstances. i think the club were put in a tough position by lolita and the president of la liga should ta ke and the president of la liga should take a lot of criticism for this —— la liga. he basically threatened barcelona to play with a 6—point deduction if they did not. he's been a divisive character in the past but how are people reacting to the comments today? i think he is getting both sides bed. in this country, it is a divided country and in football, it is reflected in barcelona and real madrid, the rivalry between those two. barcelona fa ns very rivalry between those two. barcelona fans very much admire him and respect him, the real madrid fans do not. they see him as a traitor. every time gerard pique plays for spain, at home in spain he isjeered

by his own fans, pretty mercilessly. that will continue on friday, when they play at home against albania in they play at home against albania in the world cup qualifier. the question is, should he be selected? if so, he will get the treatment again which is probably the last thing the country needs at the moment. thank you. british javelin throwerjoanna blair has been provisionally suspended after failing a drugs test. earlier this year, she competed for great britain at the european team champions in lille, and just last year set a near three—metre personal best at the british athletics championships. uk athletics says she will have the opportunity to respond to the charge. england fast bowler mark wood has been named in the england lions squad for a training camp in australia, as he continues to recover from a heel injury. the lions will shadow the senior squad for large parts of the ashes tour, which kicks off in brisbane on 23 november. former england striker rickie lambert has announced his retirement from professional football. he's 35 now, and has been without a club since leaving cardiff city in the summer.

lambert was a key part of the southampton squad which earned back—to—back promotions on their return to the premier league. england and harlequins prop kyle sinckler‘s been cited after being accused of eye gouging by northampton‘s michael paterson during saturday's defeat. he'll appear before the rfu disciplinary panel tomorrow, and faces a suspension of at least 12 weeks if found guilty. it doesn't seem that long ago, we were rallied round watching british number one johanna konta dominate at wimbledon, as she charged through to her second grand slam semifinal in just 18 months. fast forward to october, and jo konta has suffered an alarming slump in form — in fact, she hasn't managed a single win. so why and how has this happened? i'm joined now by our tennis correspondent, russell fuller. russell, at times it's been painful to watch, but where has it all gone wrong? is this only a blip? i put it down

toa is this only a blip? i put it down to a chronic crisis of confidence. she took a bit of a break after having such a good run at wimbledon, she did not get it this year, reaching the semifinals and did not defend the title she won 12 months previously in los angeles. she played 0k in the build—up to the us open. having lost the first round in new york, things have gone from bad to worse. five consecutive defeats, two win since wimbledon. her serve is normally a big foundation of her game but it isn't firing as it needs to. the rest of her game is falling apart. an embarrassingly high number of u nforced apart. an embarrassingly high number of unforced errors by her high standards. she is devoid of confidence. she will have to work our way through these blips. 0ther than on clay, she has been

phenomenally consistent. this is the first time she will have to deal with an alarming drop in form. the wta championships are fast approaching and she is holding on to the final spot, mainly due to her achievements at the start of the year. how confident are you, looking ahead? i think she will make it, we know in the first qualifiers she is in eighth place but she has a co mforta ble in eighth place but she has a comfortable cushion. conte is losing a lot but those threatening are also losing. there are only four players who can overtake, the biggest threat is coco vandeweghe, who reached the finals of the us open. johanna konta has the option of playing in the next couple of weeks. she has entered tournaments next week in hong kong and the week after in moscow, that's the final event. they haven't made a decision yet as to whether she will keep playing. if she needs those points, she may well turn up to get that spot in singapore. ross, thank you. now as one tiger's career

appears to be on the wane, fear not. it looks like another one is timing his rise to fame perfectly. robin tiger williams has says he wants to fulfil a career on tour following his debut appearance in a professional tournament at the british masters over the weekend. he was born in south africa and move to the country when he was very young. after a big weekend playing the likes of rory mcilroy, he was back home in peterborough today. more from our reporter, james burridge. he makes it look so easy, bouncing a ball on a pitching wedge, the very least of robin williams ‘s talents. where was i... i was explaining best... this is the story of a 16—year—old making waves on both sides of the atlantic. a plastic clu b sides of the atlantic. a plastic club in hands at the age of 18 months, he gave online tutorials before he was ten. are you aware of people painting you as the next tiger? tiger is my middle name and i'm proud to have it, but i do not

see a lot of similarities between me and him.just see a lot of similarities between me and him. just the same middle name. he has different ethnic backgrounds, different parents, different first names, we have a lot of differences. he isa names, we have a lot of differences. he is a big role model of mine on the course. i would like to emulate him. at the age of 12, robin tiger williams was beginning to emulate his boyhood hero, having to a golfing academy in florida. his mother witnessed her boy growing up fast... he had to learn to do his owi'i fast... he had to learn to do his own washing, he was going to tournaments and do his schoolwork because he was always there. it was a big influence on his life. are you happy he is back? ferry! what was it like with your 12—year—old son on the other side of the atlantic? not a nice feeling, i cried every day.
