hello, and welcome to sportsday. i'm mimi fawaz. here's what's coming up on the show. paul pogba is provisionally suspended from football due to an anti—doping offence. wales get a much needed win over latvia to keep their hopes alive in their euro 2024 qualifying campaign. back to the top as novak djokovic returns to world number one in the tennis rankings after his historic win at the us open. hello from the bbc sports centre. we start with the news that one of the biggest names in world football, paul pogba, has been provisionally suspended from playing football due to an anti—doping offence.

italy's national anti—doping tribunal said pogba returned a test with elevated levels of testosterone after his juventus side won 3—0 at udinese late last month. the france international was an unused substitute, but was selected at random for post—match drug testing. if found guilty of doping, he could face a ban on between two and four years. now, in a statement, his club confirmed the news all right, moving on. and another round of euro 2024 qualifiers have been completed in group d. croatia beat armenia 1—0 to move top of the table

on goal difference just ahead of turkey, with both on ten points with wales in fourth, just three points behind in group]. portugal looking very comfortable at the top of their group after thrashing luxembourg at home 9—0, which was their biggest ever win in a competitive game. second place, slovakia beat liechtenstein 3—0 iceland beat bosnia—herzegovina 1—0. wales has got their qualifying campaign back on track with a 2—0 win away to latvia. after winning only one of their previous 13 games, wales desperately needed three points. and when harry wilson was fouled in the area after half an hour, it was captain aaron ramsey that put them in front. wales missed a host of chances in the second half and had to wait until the 96th minute for david brooks to make sure of the victory and ease the pressure on manager rob page. and germany, who are the host of the tournament, which takes place next year, are going through an uncertain time with just months before the tournament kicks off.

they sacked their coach hansi flick after losing 4—1 to japan at home in a friendly. he's the first manager in the country's history to be sacked. efforts are being made to find a replacement as soon as possible, with several big names being linked to the job. they will approach johann nagelsmann, the former german coach who is right now out of a job, and matthias sommer, who hasn't had a full time coaching position in over 15 years, but who was the sporting director of the football association and who is regarded as one of the brightest football minds in germany. if nagelsmann is really interested in the job, we don't know. maybe on a one—year dealjust coaching a team at the euros and then leaving again because he wants to pursue a career at a club level. but yeah, that's that's up in the air. well, scotland have the distraction on tuesday of the not—so—friendly against their old enemy,

england, hampden will host a 150th anniversary heritage match marking the very first international fixture which took place between the two sides in 1872. in the 150 meetings. scotland have generally been the underdogs, but they are the in—form team after england could only manage a draw against ukraine at the weekend. a sports correspondent katie cornwall is at hampden. there is an awful lot of excitement and optimism surrounding scotland here at hampden park and with good reason. scotland, as we've been hearing, are in fantastic form at the moment. they've risen 20 places in the world rankings to 30th under steve clarke. they've beaten the likes of spain and norway in european qualifying and they could even qualify for the euros tomorrow night. that's if norway and georgia ends in a draw in oslo. but right now, all that is occupying the mind of steve clarke is that challenge of england. and he says that match will be the perfect barometer for how far his side have progressed. obviously, we played well in cyprus. we had a good,

comfortable evening. i know we see what we can do against a team that's nominally a point one team always in the later stages of major tournaments. that's the that's the benchmark i want to judge myself against. we'll find out tomorrow night how close we are. meanwhile, england travel here to glasgow off the back of that 1—1 draw with ukraine and that boisterous atmosphere in poland. now, gareth southgate admitted in the aftermath of that match that his side weren't quite at their best, that they didn't click in attack. so he was asked earlier here what his approach would be to this game against scotland, given that it's a friendly and he said this wasn't the sort of occasion where you tinker too much with the team. we can't fiddle around with the team because we're playing a top—level side who are going to be at full tilt and giving us a really high level challenge. so you can't overly experiment because that would be ridiculous. now england have a decent record against scotland, but they know they're

going to have to overcome a hostile atmosphere here at hampden park if they're to come out on top against steve clarke's side. scotland, meanwhile, are hoping to beat england for the first time this century. it may be a friendly, but this is a celebration of football's oldest rivalry and a rivalry that's still as intense as ever. a spanish high courtjudge has opened an investigation into former spanish football federation president luis rubiales. spain forward jenni hermoso filed a legal complaint last week over rubiales kissing her on the lips following her country's women's world cup final win. hermoso said the kiss was not consensual, while rubiales claimed it was mutual and consensual. he's resigned as spanish president following weeks of criticism. england and bayern munich midfielder georgia stanway says she hopes more changes are on the way. we don't want this to be the end of something. we want this to be the beginning of something. so everybody�*s fought, and we've fought as a women's football group.

we fought as players, we fought as staff. we fought as journalists for the outcome to be what it is. and obviously the outcome is what we want. but at the same time, we want this to be the start of something rather than the end of something. we want to continue to be able to have these conversations, feel comfortable to have these conversations, feel comfortable in your workplace, to be able to stand up for whatever you think is right. and i think that's where we're so good in the women's game, is the fact that together we are so much more powerful and together we can make change. and this can be the start of something going forward where we can be united as a team to continue to push for what's right. tennis. and at the age of 36, novak djokovic is back to the top of the tennis rankings. he defeated daniil medvedev to win the us open and a 24th men's grand slam title equalling margaret court's 50 year record. the serb won a record equalling 24th grand slam singles title with victory in the us open final in new york on sunday. he has no immediate

retirement plans and shows no signs of slowing down. the win puts him back at the top of the summit men's rankings, a place he's so used to occupying. jumping back above carlos alcaraz, three—time grand slam three—time grand slam winner andy murray, who's known djokovic since they were children, said he doesn't think the world number one is finished just yet. novak has been an incredible player for a very long time. and like roger and rafa, it's the longevity and how long they've all been able to do that for. and obviously, novak, because his longevity has been the greatest, i think of them, he's played at this level for such a long time now. and yeah, it's up to the, it's up to the young guys to be pushing him to, you know, to be looking to overtake him. i don't think he's going to stop at 2a, but, you know, you never know how long it will last, whether it's, you know, physically motivating, you know.

but to do what novak is doing, like on a consistent basis, it's different. you know, it's not the same. you know, he's doing it, you know, for 15, 20 weeks a year. like novak is doing it every time he steps on on the court. and, you know, i do think that alcaraz will soon get to that level. but, yeah, i don't think this is going to be the last time that novak wins a grand slam. to golf. and with less than two weeks ago, before the start to go, before the start of the ryder cup, europe captain luke donald has gathered his i2—man team together for a training session in rome. donald has an in—form victor hovland and up and coming star ludvig aberg at his disposal, but says it will be a very even test. with three of the top four in the world. we have some young, some young guys that are trying to make their mark, ludvig and nikolai. and i think the future for them is bright. and we have a lot of other

major champions, you know, shane lowry, justin rose, matt fitzpatrick. it goes on and on. so, you know, we have a very strong team and we know we're up against it. with the us. they're very strong as well, but i'm very happy with my 12. just enough time to recap our top story. juventus midfielder paul pogba has been provisionally suspended from playing because of an anti—doping offence. and you can get all the latest sports news at the bbc sport app or from our sport website. for me and the rest of the team at the bbc sports centre. thanks forjoining us. goodbye. hello. 0ur unprecedented run of september days over 30 degrees did not continue into monday. that said, parts of the south and the east were still

quite warm and humid — 27 celsius in suffolk. for tuesday, the process of things turning cooler and fresher does continue for most of us, although some warmth and humidity will hold on down towards the south. this humid air really quite stubborn, quite slow to clear, whereas fresher conditions are now filtering in across scotland and northern ireland. morning temperatures of around two or three degrees in parts of the highlands, whereas further south, 14, 15, 16 degrees in that humid air. through tuesday for scotland and for northern ireland, we will see lots of sunshine and just a few mostly light showers. but for parts of northern england, particularly yorkshire and lincolnshire and down into the midlands, we will have a lot of cloud, we'll have some outbreaks of rain continuing for a good part of the day, and then for east anglia and the south—east in that humid air, we've got the chance for some big thunderstorms to pop up. 23 or 2a degrees down towards the south—east. further north, though, just 15 for aberdeen, 17 there in belfast.

that cooler, fresher air continuing to work its way in and that process continues into tuesday night. still some cloud and rain across parts of eastern england, but clear spells elsewhere, one or two mist patches. and temperatures for some spots in the highlands, i think we'll get very close to freezing. there could be a touch of frost in places still, though, 15 or 16 in some coastal parts of eastern england. now for wednesday, high pressure temporarily, at least, builds its way in across the uk. so wednesday, probably one of the driest and brightest days of the week. there will be some spells of sunshine, but our next weather system looks set to bring cloud and rain and strengthening winds too into northern ireland and western scotland later in the day. fresher conditions even getting down into the south—east at this stage, 21 there for london. now, a lot of uncertainty in the forecast by thursday, there will be a weather front pushing southwards. but the exact timing, the exact progress of that frontal system is still open to question. to the south of it, something warmer developing again, 2a degrees.

further north and west, we are in the cooler fresher air. as we look towards the end of the week, it's quite changeable. some rain at times and still signs of something relatively warm in the south.
