hello and welcome to sportsday. we have the champions league group stages in the diary. if you are a liverpool, tottenham, manchester city or chelsea fan, all of the details are to come. in the last couple of hours, defending champions liverpool have got a familiar trip to napoli. the head again, they also face salzburg. joe lenski is here. not a bad group for liverpool.” think they'll be happy with this one. it isn't even that long since we we re one. it isn't even that long since we were watching these scenes last season, the win and create at liverpool, with liverpool winning the champions league there last season. the champions league there last season. i think they will look quite favourably on this draw for the
6:34 pm
istanbul in turkey is the city. at least 32 sides are looking to get in the draw. three english sides were in the top seeded pot of teams, and they might have drawn a sigh of relief when real madrid, who are in pot two, were drawn away from any of their groups. there will be some deja vu coming up. looking at our stats, liverpool, as we say, have drawn napoli, one of the italian sides they played last year. napoli cost liverpool a lot of problems in the group stages last season, beating liverpool 1—0 in the away fixture and nearly denying them a progression to the knockouts. they've got red bull salzburg, a site has been given a free pass into the champions league this season. there has been a team since 1994 in the competition. and gent, belgian champions, it's their first
6:35 pm
appearance since 2011, when chelsea beat them 5—0. a manageable group for liverpool. great scenes from liverpool, but the runners—up for totte n ha m liverpool, but the runners—up for tottenham last season, and we know how difficult tottenham made the stages last year. they'll be looking for a bit of an easier ride. they will, hopefully. we can now look at the draw. that was liverpool's draw. 0h, the draw. that was liverpool's draw. oh, no, we can't! recio pochettino there. the headline fob tottenham as they have bayern munich, the site in they have bayern munich, the site in the top pot at this group, and also you see 0lympiakos from athens and red star belgrade as well. i'm going to show you some of the distances these teams will travel, because liverpool there with genk, salzburg and napoli. spurs are going to these outliers in 0lympiakos and red star
6:36 pm
belgrade. bayern munich is interesting for spurs. they are in the second part of team, spurs, and munich in the top part, but may be not the same progress anymore, munich. were quite comfortably taken apart by liverpool in the knockout stage last season. spurs probably optimistic about that group. for manchester city, this is the big question for pep guardiola, this elusive trophy, and how much attention and focus they will put on the champions league. it seems to abate manchester city each season. desperately afraid. we are having some technical problems with our screen today. they have got deja vu, because shakhtar donetsk is a team they played twice last season, and they played twice last season, and they are off on that long trip to they are off on that long trip to the ukraine. 0ne they are off on that long trip to the ukraine. one of the biggest outliers in the group draw, shakhtar
6:37 pm
donetsk, but the times they played the site last season at manchester city resulted in wins of 3—0 and 6-0. a city resulted in wins of 3—0 and 6—0. a couple of interesting ties, with dinamo zagreb back in the competition after a couple of years away, and atalanta, aside from northern italy who were playing in the champions league for the first time, so another eligible group for city. what about chelsea, in the champions league? it will be interesting for chelsea and frank lampard this interesting for chelsea and frank lampa rd this season, interesting for chelsea and frank lampard this season, because they came forth with the europa league trophy win last season, which made them a top seed in this draw, giving them a top seed in this draw, giving them a top seed in this draw, giving them a potentially easier route, because they were one of the only sides, england was one of the only sides, england was one of the only sides to have more than one team from their domestic league in that top pot of the draw. it will be an interesting season. can this young group of players, with the transfer,
6:38 pm
domestic competitions at the weekend, and they've been drawn alongside is ajax, semifinalists last season, along with valencia and lille. chelsea played valencia in the quarterfinals of the champions league in 2007. a late goalfor chelsea got them a win in the second leg. let's look at where their map will take them. pretty manageable, compared to city's trip to eastern ukraine, so chelsea will be quite optimistic, i'd say, along with a lot of these teams in the premier league this season. i think there will certainly be some manageable fixtures in there for all four english clubs in this draw. you did magnificently, despite technical issues. thank you very much. some other news from that in monaco,
6:39 pm
because lucy bronze has won the award for women player of the year. she was very influential with england reaching the semifinal earlier this summer. she also won the simply sent her —— she also the champions league. she was up against her lyon team—mates. and the men's are what has gone to virgil van dijk after his recognition earlier in the ceremony for defender of the year. and the champions league playerfor liverpool. let's move on and talk about this. aaron wan—bissaka and tyrone mings have won their first call—ups to the england men's senior squad while upcapped dquames maddison and mason mount are also included. there's no place for kyle walker though in manager gareth southgate's
6:40 pm
plans for their euro 2020 qualifiers against bulgaria and kosovo. he insists he will continue to give youth a chance. we've got a depth of talent now because we've approached it slightly differently, to look at younger players, and it's increased the pool can pick from. it means we lacked some experience in some positions, but we got to keep evolving as a team. we've had a two—year period progress, and constant improvement, i think, but we can't stand still, and there are young players coming through that we might not see the best of in the next two years, actually, but for the long term, we need to start integrating them, because i think this team can co nsta ntly im prove a nd evolve. well ,the bbc‘s football correspondentjohn murray was at
6:41 pm
today's squad announcement today. no surprise with some of the younger members, who gareth will have known from his time in charge, but a differentjourney for tyrone mings. yes, he is what you might call a late developer. he was a left back at ipswich town. then he went to bournemouth, and he had a bad injury therefore stop gareth southgate said he watched him a lot last season and he watched him a lot last season and he was impressed he started the season with newly promoted aston villa. 0ne season with newly promoted aston villa. one thing gareth southgate referenced was the fact he has leadership qualities, tyrone mings, and that's one thing i know that gareth southgate is often touched on over the time he's been england manager. he likes that in his squad. i think that's what appears, as well as his form on the field, to have given him the edge overjames tarkowski and lewis dunk, who are not included in this squad. and he is sticking with youth in terms of
6:42 pm
bringing experience into the squad and developing as the team develops. what was most striking for me was the emission of kyle walker, who's been such an important person for gareth southgate. but he said he spoke to kyle walker and explained to him that, in this, these two qualifiers, he wants to see what trent alexander—arnold and aaron wan—bissaka can do it right back, and aaron wan—bissaka, having moved this summer for £50 million to manchester united and started the season in the team, is the first time he's been in the senior squad, but well as those young players, mason mount and james maddison as well, who might well win their first caps in these mass niches —— in these matches, kieran trippier has been recalled, another right back, and alex 0xlade—chamberlain and harry winks, also players who, may
6:43 pm
be for injury reasons, haven't been involved as much as southgate would like. thank you forjoining us. well, as bury come to terms with their expulsion from the english football league, the head of the club's academy teams says all players on the books under the age of 16 have now been told they no longer have a team to play for. speaking to our correspondent david 0rnstein, mark litherland says he's had to deal with crying children and parents as he's broken the news, and it could mean some players will never get another chance to become professionals. it's been devastated, if i'm honest with you, having to tell young players. we've got 140 children, and they are children, that they haven't got a club anymore, so telling them was heartbreaking. i couldn't look some of them in the eye, to be honest. i was speaking to one parent she broke down crying on the floor. to be honest, we gave a chat and all i could do was apologise. her son
6:44 pm
was with us five years and he's devastated. doesn't want to go anywhere else. she is worried about his mental if i'm honest with you, because you don't actually understand the implications of what's been through children's minds when such severe things happen in a short space of time. it was really sudden. all of the club, including myself, thought the club would survive, but ultimately it hasn't, so it's devastating. if it is to be what it seems, that it's over, can you actually believe that? no, no. bloody football clubs! i've been in the community for 134 years. it's pa rt the community for 134 years. it's part of the community. i've seen grown men crying and, on tuesday, 300 people turned up to clean the seats at the ground. a caterer called 0wen came down and supplied all the food free to everyone who
6:45 pm
turned up to clean the seats and, for those people, i'm lost for words, i'm devastated for them, because their heart has been ripped out of the community. bury have become the first club since 1992 to be expelled from the football league. that happened to maidstone united 27 years ago but since then the kent club have risen back through the leagues to the brink of the efl. well, i'm joined now by one of maidstone's co—owners, 0liver ash. 0liver, these are desperate times for bury but your club has shown it is possible to bounce back, how did you go about doing it? well, u nfortu nately we well, unfortunately we folded in 1992, and it took many years for the club, reformed by some dedicated supporters, to work their way back up supporters, to work their way back up the pyramid. we were reinstated 13 divisions down from where we'd
6:46 pm
gone bust, in division four, so it's been a long journey back on park pitches and up through the county league and the kent league, and fortu nately league and the kent league, and fortunately now the club is in fine shape, ona fortunately now the club is in fine shape, on a solid financial footing. we run it sustainably. we make sure we don't have any deficit spending. touch wood, things are looking more promising for the future than they we re promising for the future than they were 27 years ago. in terms of the fa ns were 27 years ago. in terms of the fans of bury and what the future might hold, what advice would you give the club in terms of how they can keep it going, in whateverform? i wouldn't try and give them any advice, really, becausei i wouldn't try and give them any advice, really, because i am sure there are some very competent people amongst the supporter base. if the demise is confirmed, and i believe it isn't100% certain, there are a few possibilities, perhaps some hope left, but if it is confirmed, the
6:47 pm
supporters will have to work out very quickly where they might be able to play to reform a club and find a place to play. i don't know whether the stadium will be a possibility. that will depend on who has the ownership of the stadium or a mortgage on it. we started off on park pitches and we ended up renting pitches before we could build our own stadium. i don't know what the options are for bury but, as long as they have a keen, core group of supporters that were loyally and with dedication help them fight back, they will be all right and, in due course, sooner rather than later, i hope for them, find a way back and recover the joy that the community will get again from the football clu b community will get again from the football club they so badly need. thank you for your time. 0liver in paris, 0liver ash. the last two british hopefuls got under way for their second—round matches at the us open today. they
6:48 pm
we re matches at the us open today. they were rescheduled from yesterday because of rain. dan evans took to the court this afternoon, and he took the first two sex 674, 23 —— —— the first two sets 6—4, 6—3. he is playing lucas pouille. johanna konta is currently on court, taking on margarita gasparyan. you can follow that on the bbc sport website. let's have a quick look at some of the day's other sports stories now. wales have handed test debuts to 0wen lane and rhys carre for saturday's rugby world cup warm—up game against ireland in cardiff. they are among 14 changes to the side that defeated england, with warren gatland set to name his final squad for the tournament on sunday. meanwhile, ireland head coach joe schmidt makes 11 changes to the side that was demolished by england at twickenham last weekend. ulster full—back will addison will make his first appearance for ireland since january. sally conway has picked up britain's first medal
