both sets of players came out to stand together, their fa cup match had been abandoned after players for haringey were allegedly racially abused. this footage shows their goalkeeper, just before he claims that yeovil town fans assaulted him. this was very aggressive, and they looked at me right in their eyes and they said, "you are disgusting" and they spit on me. haringey manager told his players to walk off the pitch. on me. haringey manager told his players to walk off the pitchlj looked into the eyes of my players once i got on the pitch and i had to make a quick decision. these boys we re make a quick decision. these boys were not ready to continue. they have never experienced anything like this. while playing for me. one week ago, england players did not leave the pitch in sofia, these were the ugly scenes from the bulgarian crowd, as england's black wires were

subjected to monkey noises and nazi salutes in the euro 2020 qualifier. even then, england manager gareth southgate spoke at racism at a domestic level. sadly, my players, because of their experiences in our own country, are hardened to racism. and i don't know what that says about our society, but that is the reality. there is no room for racism. there have been a spate of alleged racist incidents across britain on the very weekend the premier league relaunch their antiracism video. in the championship, some bristol city fans are alleged to have used racist language in their match against luton town. in scotland, allegations of racism at tynecastle in heart of midlothian against rangers. the fa says they are deeply concerned at the situation but the fa ct a concerned at the situation but the fact a non—league side has taken this stand may now set a precedent

for other clubs. former british noi kyle edmund has slumped to his eighth—straight defeat. he was beaten in three sets by us open semi—finalist matteo berrettini in the first round of the vienna 0pen. edmund showed glimpses of his best form, taking the opening set but errors crept into his game and the italian, who's ranked 11th in the world, came back to win. edmund is now 75th in the world rankings, and hasn't won since beating nick kyrgios in montreal in early august edmund's latest defeat could also damage his hopes of being picked by great britain for the davis cup finals in madrid next month. andy murray returns for the first time in three years. he won the european 0pen yesterday, his first singles title in two—and—a—half years following a second hip operation in january. also in the squad are dan evans, jamie murray and neal skupski, with either edmund or cameron norrie

likely to take the last place. let's take a quick look at some other stories making the news today. new research has found that former professional footballers are over three times more likely die of dementia than people of the same age range in the general population. the study was comissioned by the fa and the pfa, after claims that former west brom strikerjeff astle died the study was comissioned by the fa and the pfa, after claims that former west brom strikerjeff astle died because of repeated head trauma. the sheffield united striker 0li mcburnie's been charged with drink driving following an incident in leeds in the early hours of friday morning. the club's record signing will appear at leeds magistrates court next month and leeds rhino's have been fined £20,000 by the rugby football league following salary cap breaches. half of that fine has been suspended for two years. they were found to have exceeded the cap on four separate occasions. they blamed an "administrative error". wales have called up cardiff blues wing 0wen lane to their world cup squad.

lane, who can also play at centre, was part of wales' extended pre—tournament training squad. lane replaces forward josh navidi who's been ruled out by injury. he tore his hamstring and limped off in the first half of wales quarter—final win over france. but centrejonathan davies, who missed that game with a knee problem, should be fit for the semi—final aginst south africa on sunday. very disappointing for him. he has been very influential and very important for us in the last year. disappointing for us, to have a player ruled out. but, in saying that, these games are so physical, to have lost only one player at this game, it is a great positive for us.

england, on the other hand, should have a fully fit squad to choose from for their semi—final against the reigning champions new zealand on saturday. they had been worried aboutjonny may, who scored two tries in their quarterfinal win over australia. he had a twinge in a hamstring but he is expected to be fine for the match. jack nowell is also back in contention tiger woods says he's recovering well from more surgery. he had an operation on his knee two months ago, and will play in this week's zozo championship, the first ever pga tour event in japan. it got to where i was... it was even affecting my reading on pars, and having it done, unfortunately i have been down this road before. with rehab, andl been down this road before. with rehab, and i knew the protocol. the whole idea was to be ready for this event, and be ready for here, and possibly australia. it has been nice

to be able to squat down and read putts again, going full speed. and before we go, we loved this from the swiss freestyle skiier andri ragettli. it's not the normal training routine you'd expect from a skiier. more suited to parkour than the ski slopes. he does it to mix up his training routine. certainly is mixed up! so that he doesn't get bored. he says routines like this help him with balance. pretty amazing balance. not as easy as he makes it look. just for all of us as he makes it look. just for all of us at home, watching, feeling a little inadequate. . .! us at home, watching, feeling a little inadequate...! this was his 232nd attempt... i'm not even sure i'd get up to 232, that is amazing. i don't want these pictures to end! they are going to have to, though,
