hello and welcome to sportsday. we've got an action packed programme for you. and where else to start, but the knockout stages for europe's biggest prize. holders liverpool are in spain preparing to take on athletico madrid in the champions league last 16. where they'll have fond memories, after lifting the trophy there last season. austin halewood joins me now. a big night in store for liverpool. it has been a great season so far, the winter break for european football is officially over. the champions league is back now. now, it's beenjust over 8 months since liverpool lifted the trophy in the wanda metropolitano stadium in madrid. they're back there again tonight, at the scene of their greatest triumph, underjurgen klopp so far — but the atmosphere might be a bit more hostile as they take on home side athletico. now liverpool managerjurgen klopp

says this is one of the most difficult away fixtures for any professional footballer. but a huge part of this tie is all going to be about the tactical battle between the managers — they're two of the most animated coaches in football. but klopp says he's nothing compared to his opposite number, diego simeone. people say about me that i am emotional at the sideline. i would say i am emotional at the sideline. i would sayiama emotional at the sideline. i would say i am a level four and the eagle is level 12. i am the kindergarten cop against him. his teams are a lwa ys cop against him. his teams are always world—class organised. that makes him one of the best. so as expected, klopp‘s predicting a tough game but liverpool go into this as huge favourites. they're the defending champions and we know how well they're doing in the premier league this season. they're 25 points clear of second—placed manchester city and, with chelsea's defeat

to manchester united last night, it means liverpool have already qualified for next season's champions league. but they don't have the greatest of records against spanish opposition. you have to go back 11 years to 2009 for when they last won away against a spanish team. yossi benayoun scored the winner against real madrid at the bernabeu, so can they do it again? well, our football correspondent, john murray is in madrid for us. it isa it is a lovely evening here in madrid for the start of the knockout stages of the champions league. if it is only like last season we have got some thrills ahead of us over the next few months. last season was very special. it was. the were going away to munich to get results, barcelona overturning what was one of the biggest deficit in the

champions league, to come back and do any good anfield, tonight is an equally big task to come here, very good team, very good organised, great pedigree of marriage, they have been firing on all saunders. the report underjurgen klopp, they have this fantastic record. ten ties under claw and they have come to oldham. is that just under claw and they have come to oldham. is thatjust because of the players or is there more to it because mark is a full package. you've got good players, you what you're doing, the ruble find a way of winning games and if it doesn't work in the first tie they know how to get in the second tie. —— liverpool. the manager will learn from what goes wrong in one game to the next. the mentality among the clu b the next. the mentality among the club and the players has grown and grown over the last couple of years. we are very much looking forward to

the knockout stages of the champions league. we'll begin it here in madrid with the defending champions. five live sport is on at seven o'clock. so liverpool without doubt the favourites. but while athletico madrid aren't having the best season in spain, they're fourth in the table at the moment, they do have a rich history of their own in this competition. they went all the way to the final in 2014 and 2016. and in the 8 years that diego simeone has been the manager of athletico, they've never been beaten at home in the knockout stage. it could be a lot closer than some think and there's one other big game tonight. borussia dortmund hosting paris saint—germain. phil neville has named his england squad for the defence of the she believes cup next month in the united states. he's named a young lionesses squad which includes a first call—up for west ham defender grace fisk. there is also a recall for everton striker chloe kelly. our correspondent katie gornall was at today's squad announcement at wembley.

this is a new look squad that has been named by the manager today. it is packed with young players, eight of them are under the age of 23, and there are a few names that will not be as familiar to some fans. there was chloe kelly, it is a big day for grace frisk as well, the west ham defender, celebrating herfirst senior college. there were some notable absences, one player had an injury and won't make the trip to america, and jodie taylor, the dropped. jodie taylor is in the twilight of her career at 33 years of age. she might struggle to get back on side but the manager says the door is always open. he does not pick players based on their age, he only looked at quality. we have

introduced a lot of these young players as training players but now you're at the point now we are playing regularly at a level which i think is international and, ultimately, they deserve to be in the squad. i do not regret age, whether they are 30 or under 20, i look at the quality of what they can bring to the team. now is the right time, how he planned for the last 12 months, to bring them into a club and expose them to what is probably best outside of the major germans. the inclusion of so many youngsters in the squad underlines their focus. they are looking towards the future and hoping to mould a team that could win on home turf at euro 2021, just over 500 days' time. in the in the meantime we are desperate to retain the she cup was the one for the first time last year. it is a rematch against us at the start of

march. let's take a look at some of the other stories grabbing the headlines. tottenham bossjose mourinho does not expect son heung—min to play again this season. earlier the club website said son will be out for a "number of weeks" with a broken arm suffered during sunday's win at aston villa. he will now have surgery this week. mako vunipola will miss england six nations match against ireland this sunday at twickenham. the prop has returned to tonga for family reasons. the rest of eddiejones‘ squad is unchanged from their win over scotland. and england were stunned to a 10—wicket defeat to sri lanka in theirfinal warm—up game, before the start of the women's t20 world cup on friday. sri lanka surpassed their 122—run target inside 13 overs in adelaide. it's fight week so that means you'll probably see a lot of these two, as tyson fury and deontay wilder go at it again for their rematch in las vegas on saturday. 15 months ago, it ended

in a controversial draw. both are still unbeaten. but whoever wins, will clinch the wbc heavweight belt which could mean their next opponet is britain's anthonyjoshua. fury says all he needs to do is stand up to wilder. he needs a knockout. deontay wilder can't knock me out on points. this is the biggest fight in the last 30 yea rs, let is the biggest fight in the last 30 years, let us get it on. fighting deontay wilder is like giving a seven—year—old an ak—47. any fully loaded. yeah, that is what it is like. i think that personally he will come out the gates like a galloping horse, flat out, try to not be out in the first round. after that he will start relaxing more and will get back trying to use jabs on the right hand. to knock out a knockout artist,

you've got to back them up, make them go back, because wilder's used to coming forward his whole career, knocking people out. he's never knocked anyone out on the back foot, ever. so his momentum is forward. so, all bullies, when they are backed up and stood up to, fold. and wilder is no different to any other bully, a playground bully. i think those 12 rounds i have one. he needs a knocker, i can get a knockout or point victory. deontay wilder cannot be me on points, not possible, so you need to go the distance. this is your third appearance in vegas. the first time ido said appearance in vegas. the first time i do said he did not want to come here at all until you are ready to fight on the bill. no it is a huge occasion. how is this getting you geared up? it is a boxing match to me. i'm not going to dress it up because i do not want to dress it up in my mind. i can bully all the things that it is, i can tell that to me things that it is, i can tell that tomei things that it is, i can tell that to me i get all riled up about it,

but i don't want to do that. can you do that all the time because marklj can do that all the time because mark” can keep it down 24 hours a day until on fight day and then, when i walk into the ring, i realise this is the biggest fight of the last 30 yea rs, is the biggest fight of the last 30 years, since 19 71, let's get it on. resilience. that's the one word that descibes our next guest. ali ja—wad is a paralympic silver medallist, but has had to face a number of set backs following his battle with crohn‘s disease. he's meant to be competing in the para powerlifting world cup this week, but he told me earlier, that's still touch and go. the way i'm feeling right now, there isa the way i'm feeling right now, there is a big chance i will be able to compete, but i'm hoping to get better in the next few days. we are not going to decide until thursday night. wright then have another chance to qualify because mark i am lucky that we have a further lock up eventin lucky that we have a further lock up event in dubai in eight weeks which i could go to try and qualify. you did refuse treatment for crohn‘s

disease you could have another go for the paralympic games? is it one of your dreams to become a paralympic champion? how much would it mean to make that a reality because mark two years ago, i crohn‘s disease got really bad i got two options. one was a stem cell trial and the other was a stone bag andi trial and the other was a stone bag and i got told that potentially i'm going to have to retire with both options. i delete stem cell treatment because of the chemotherapy i needed because i thought if i picked one of those options i might not make tokyo. i delete options i might not make tokyo. i d elete ste m options i might not make tokyo. i delete stem cell trial to try and ta ke delete stem cell trial to try and take a route that we thought could get me to the platform. we have been trying to fight since and i knew what was coming at me and i knew what was coming at me and i knew what i was about to go through and i chose my pass and hopefully the past i have chosen will get me through. aiming for gold there will be unrealistic. just getting then i would be a great thing. if i end up meddling that would be —— getting a

medal, that'll be a dream comeback. ifi medal, that'll be a dream comeback. if i end up pulling it off, you will see one of the greatest celebrations ever. i am fighting for that dream andi ever. i am fighting for that dream and i willing to go all the way i do i have to stop but i'm hoping that, on that given day on the 27th of august, i could beat crohn‘s disease just for one day. hopefully i will just for one day. hopefully i will just have it on that day. for all those who dream of making it as professional footballers, only a tiny percentage ever succeed. academies can take young players to the brink of a lucrative career — but how difficult is it when you're at the make or break moment? this week on sportsday, we're looking at the academy system and tonight we visit liverpool, where a new play focuses on young players thrust into the spotlight of elite football — and the struggles that come with it. adam samuel reports.

boys can't really speak to each other. you have
