good evening. what an incredible few weeks it's been as we near the end of the football season, and we still have the fa cup final coming up on saturday, two european finals before the end of the month with guaranteed english winners and then england taking part in the nations league finals and the women's world cup. it really is a celebration of the sport. but this is also a really stressful time of the season with the futures of thousands of players hanging in the balance. and the impact on those being released by a club can be profound. i'm joined now by bbc broadcaster and film—maker ben zand who has been looking at this issue in the next episode bbc sounds podcast. it's mental health awareness week, and i simply wasn't aware how big an issue this is in football. you have been looking at academy level. any football fans forgets the trials

and tribulations of trying to make it to the premier league. most people do not make it. it has a profound effect. when people are in academies it becomes their family. this time of the season is when they find out whether or not they will have a contract. for those who do not this is genuinely upsetting. i spoke to somebody in the podcast we told me about that experience. i walked out midway through the conversation. i did not want to hear anything. literally, the manager cold me, he thought i was going to do something like commit suicide because i was so emotional, he had not seen me like that, because i do not seen me like that, because i do not show emotions. seeing me like that, he did not think it would be this bad. they knew it would be bad but they did not know i would take it like that.

that number is we have got from the professional footballers‘ association, 355 players seeking help since january, and they think that will increase. are the numbers rising or do you think there is more support in place and that we are just more aware of these issues because of the times that we live in? yes, that number is more than double that of the entire year of 2016. that is considerable. but that pfa would see that as an example of what they are doing, working, trying to make players more aware of mental health, trying to make them look forward to positive effect. at the same time there are many people who do not feel it is enough. other people who have been released by academies who feel let down. we spoke to a new academy in west london. these are players that used to be at professional academies before. lam before. iam22

before. i am 22 years old. i play at number ten. as soon as you are released, no one wants to know, no one wants to help you. it is difficult in that sense. the uncertainty in football can mess with your mind. not knowing what is next in any academy. they should have a duty of care to anyone in the system. there is no support. the pfa do not do enough for players. when things are going good, you have got that. speaking to you, are you 0k? it is when you are not doing well, people just disappear. we can understand how hard it can be. it is rejection in its purest form. they get kind of thrown out of the academy straightaway. they do need support. thankfully it does seem like they are getting more support now. thank you. it is really worth a listen.

thanks ben — the next epsiode podcast is available to download on bbc sounds. dumped by my football club, this edition is called. england have named their squad for the nations league finals in portugal next month. it‘s been a tricky one to pick because of those four english clubs contesting the europa league and the champions league finals over the next few weeks, the latter game coming just five days before england face the netherlands. ruben loftus—cheek is out, because of his own ankle problem, that gareth southgate says will see him miss the europa final although chelsea haven‘t confirmed that. captain harry kane is in the party even though the tottenham star has been out for a month with a ligament injury. here is the england manager on today‘s squad announcement. he is working towards being fit for the final. we have got to see how that progresses. clearly he is a player we would want to give every

opportunity to. his goal scoring record for us is phenomenally high. and he is captain of the team. we are keeping that door open. we have got to be the best possible decisions with the information that we have. it is constantly moving. i went to bed last night, rueben loftus—cheek was in the squad and playing brilliantly. as i say, huge disappointment, he will miss a major european final and a brilliant opportunity with us. what we have got to do is prepare everybody, ready to play. there is going to be a lot of uncertainty around who is entirely available until the last minute. but we have got a strong squad, a squad with a lot of talent, and we are looking forward to these matches. azerbaijan‘s sports minister has defended the decision to stage the europa league final in its capital baku on the 29th of may. chelsea and arsenal fans will have to travel almost 2,500 miles and uefa has only given each club 6,000

tickets for the match. there are only three direct scheduled flights a week. those have sold out. and all the other routes are full as well. why during the baku games, but never during the other games? so far from london, lisbon, madrid. next time, never such a question will appear. i believe that everybody will get acquainted with our beautiful city and will be happy to come back again. manchester city have been referred to uefa‘s adjudicatory chamber following an investigation into the club‘s finances and possible breaches of the financial fair play regulations. if found guilty they could be banned

from next season‘s champions league. here‘s our sports correspondent david ornstein. we do not know on the timescale. hazy milan are under a similar investigation. that has been going on for months. other suggestions are this will be dealt with quickly. manchester city say they are disappointed but not surprised. their statement is very strongly worded, especially towards the chairman of this investigation. they also hit out at the immediate weeks. but they seem particularly confident of clearing their names. they say they have provided irrefutable evidence and the hope for a satisfactory outcome. staying with city, the women‘s team has signed the england striker ellen white on a two—year deal. shejoins the club after two seasons with birmingham city. she‘s been capped 80 times and helped the lionesses win the shebelieves cup in america earlier this year and she‘ll be a key player for england at next month‘s women‘s world cup in france.

the first round of the us pga championship is well under way. golf‘s second major of the year is taking place at the bethpage black course in new york. let‘s get the latest from our golf correspondent iain carter. at one point three englishmen were at the top of the leaderboard. if you changes since then? justin rose has flickered around the leaderboard. he has slipped back subsequently. today is just all about one man and that is the defending champion, brooks koepka. this has been a sensational round of golf. throughout the entire build—up to this pga championship we have been discussing what might be a winning score. robert lui around six, seven, eight under par, a difficult golf course, but brooks koepka has ripped to pieces, seven under par, 63. think about his

pedigree, someone who can defend titles as a frontrunner. and in the major championships. he won his first major at the us open two years ago, successfully defended that last year, then won the pga last year, and already people here are seeing, it is over. clearly it is not. but he has got off to an amazing start. seven under par round of 63. as far as tiger woods is concerned, a really u p as tiger woods is concerned, a really up and down round of 72, the highlight was an eagle three at the third. he was on a very good run at that point. a couple of late drop shots, he finished up at 72. that is the same as his playing partner, francesco molinari stop did not look as composed as he usually does. the leaderboard puts brooks koepka four shots clear of tommy fleetwood at the top. then a clutch of players at two under par and the include paul

casey from britain. thank you. and there will be coverage at half past nine on five live. some of the other headlines today. england‘s charlotte thompson leads by a single shot, nearing the end of the first round of the women‘s tour event in cadiz — she opened with a six—under—par round of 66. italians have taken control of cycling‘s first grand tour of the year, the giro d‘italia. fausto masnada broke away to win today‘s sixth stage. and formula 1 is in talks to hold a race in morocco. the last grand prix to be staged there was in 1958, when stirling moss won in casablanca. africa last hosted a race in south africa in 1993. deontay wilder will face a hearing after the world boxing council said his comments about causing death in

the ring is against the spirit of their sport. the heavyweight champion said he wanted to get a body on his record ahead of his side on saturday against fellow american dominic breazeale. england‘s cricketers have been preparing for the fourth one—dayer against pakistan tomorrow. they are two up and can clinch the series. our sports correspondentjoe wilson was at trent bridge today. england are trying to beat pakistan in this one—day international. they are 3—0 up in this series but there is this fascinating experimentation and rotation ahead of the world cup, the intriguing prospect that england have two 90 mph bowlers, mark wood, who has occupied that position when he is fit, and then the new man, archer. archer trying to push himself into contention is intriguing. what is it like being a member of the squad? we spoke

earlier today. you want to make the world cup squad. you have to push your case. he is world—class. i would expect him to be in their world cup squad. i would expect them to fight for that last place. maybe too fast bowlers, myself and archer bowling together, at either end, that would be exciting for the crowd. hopefully not as exciting for the pakistan batsmen. i hope we can do the business. the competition for places, the only thing i would say, eve ryo ne places, the only thing i would say, everyone has stepped it up. we worked hard in training anyway. you can see everybody is going that extra little half a step or have a yard, just to make sure they are com pletely yard, just to make sure they are completely ready to go when they get a chance. there is now a situation

we are increasingly force, six, ten in andover. 500 possible? is it going to get demoralising for every generation of bowlers to be in that position? it is demoralising already. 500, i believe that is a realistic target for our one—day team. the destructive nature of our batting line—up can certainly do that. that was joe wilson speaking at trent bridge ahead of that game against pakistan tomorrow. that lawn tennis association looks to increase participation in bame communities. and the team getting great britain out onto the ice in the best possible shape.
