chelsea manager thomas tuchel, for one, has claimed the safety of his players has been overlooked.point of view, it is worrying, exactly what thomas tuchel said, if you have a limited number of players and you start pushing players that are not quite ready than those small injuries can become much more serious and it can have a longer effect in the entirety of the season. you don�*t want to affect sporting integrity, that is what could happen. you want as many people getting these boosters and allow than a week or two to take effect, when that happens we are in a much better position to fight against this virus. it is a race against this virus. it is a race against time, my suspicion is things will look very different on boxing day and afterwards. phil foden and jack grealish have been warned about their behaviour after being left on manchester city�*s bench last weekend for attending a night out. it followed their big win over leeds five days earlier — pep guardiola said he pays a lot of attention to behaviour on and off the pitch, and when it is not proper they won�*t play. austr

thomas tuchel�*s side fought back and regained the advantage with goals from romelu lukaku, and a seconds scored by magomed ozdoev and it finished 3 all while juventus went top after a 1—0 win over malmo. it's very easy, we need a higher level, higher level of sprint, a higher level of run, higher level of intensity concentration level. it's as easy, it's the basics, the basics need to be pushed up to a higher level while we are in the lead and it cannot drop just because we are in the lead. and this is what's happening right now to us. in group f — manchester united were held to a 1—1 draw at old trafford by swiss side young boys having already qualified top heading into the last 16. a much—changed united side took the lead through an acrobatic effort by mason greenwood. but a lapse in concentration at the end of the first half saw fabian reeder score for the swiss side with the second half failing to provide a winner. barcelona have failed to make it into the knockout stages of the champions league for the first time in 21 years after they lost 3—0 to bayern munich. two goals in the fi

head coach thomas tuchel thinks that while clubs are dealing with coronavirus, the schedule is unfair we play teams who don't play international duties, and we have the covid situation, normally five changes were invented because of covid and now we are in the middle of covid and some teams get their games postponed and some do not and we have three changes and this is a big disadvantage, and also in europe. just one game in the premier league tonight, with newcastle at home to manchester united. it's the first time newcastle have found themselves in the relegation zone at christmas, and with just 10 points from 18 games, manager eddie howe knows they need to be better in the second half of the season if they want to get out of trouble. there are enough games and enough talent in the squad but we are aware that we cannot waste games, time is against us. if the opportunities are there, we have got to take them. every game we do not win it becomes harder and harder to achieve what we need to do. newcastle expected to be big spenders in the transfer window, which opens on saturday, but o

thomas tuchel has responded to striker romelu lukaku's comments in an interview in which he said he wasweeks ago, but it's not gone down well with his boss. i don't like it, of course, because it brings noise that we don't need and is not helpful, but on the other side we don't want to make more out of it than it actually is. you know very well how it is, it is very easy to take lines out of context. it is very easy to shorten lines, make headlines, and then later realise that it's not so bad and may not be what he meant. but let's be honest, we don't like it, i don't like it, because it's noise that we don't need. we need a calm environment and focus and it doesn't help. manchester city defender joao cancelo says he suffered cuts to the face after attempting to fight off a gang of robbers at his home. cancelo posted an image of his injuries on instagram, claiming "four cowards" took all his jewellery and left him with a facial injury. he will be part of the squad for city's game against arsenal on new year's day. former england all—rounder adam hollioake has been drafted into england's

head coach thomas tuchel thinks, while clubs are dealing with coronavirus, the schedule is unfair. the covid situation, five changes were invented because of covid and now we are in the middle of covid and some teams get their games postponed and some do not, and we have three changes and this is a big disadvantage, and also in europe. there were no fans at the welsh grand national for the second year in a row. the welsh government's introduced covid rules which prevent more than 50 spectators attending a sporting event. only five horses finished a gruelling race which was won by the 13—2 shot i will do it, ridden by sam sheppard and trained by sam thomas. that's all your sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. i will have more for you later what thatis i will have more for you later what that is all your support for now. this is bbc news, the headlines: the bbc understands no further covid restrictions in england are set to be announced today — but uncertainty still remains on whether future measures will be imposed before the new year. in n

difficult it will be to rearrange any postponed fixtures, but when you've got the chelsea manager thomas tuchels game with wolves went ahead represented a huge risk to players and was not safe, this is a headache for not just the club bosses but the premier league bosses as well. later today we expect new testing figures from the premier league, and vaccination figures as well, which could be very telling. this is not an easy subject, not an easy decision, if indeed a decision is taken today. there is a really split view within the league. rafa nadal has tested positive for coronavirus in a development that could put his participation in the australian open in doubt. the 20—time grand slam champion, only returned to competition last week, after more than four months out with a foot problem. posting on social media, nadal said he is suffering from minor symptoms. the 35—year—old is fully vaccinated and has been a vocal critic of other players who have decided not to receive a vaccine. let's speak to susan mickey — professor of health psychology and director of the centre for behaviour change at

thomas tuchel was a little lacking in festive cheer.y the club's request to postpone their game with wolves which finished goalless was turned down. they were only able to name four outfield players on the bench. that goes to show the size of the covid problems facing him and his team. ange postecoglou won his first trophy as celtic manager beating hibs in the scottish league cup final. hibs took the lead at a misty hampden but kyogo equalised within a minute. and as the fog cleared, he scored again, with a brilliant finish as celtic won 2—1 to grab the first trophy of the season. leicester tigers' amazing start to the season continues — they've won 13 games in a row after beating connacht in the champions cup. the irish side had led at the break, but the tigers fought back in the second half to win 29—23, and keep their winning run going. connacht did get a losing bonus point, though. ronnie 0'sullivan has won his 38th ranking snooker tournament, at the age of a6, after losing the last five finals he's played in. the rocket came back f

chelsea manager thomas tuchel, for one, has claimed the safety of his players has been overlooked.vin agrees with him. purely from the players�* point of view, it is worrying, exactly what thomas tuchel said, if you have a limited number of players and you start pushing players that are not quite ready, then those small injuries can become much more serious and it can have a longer effect in the entirety of the season. you don't want to affect sporting integrity, and that is what could happen. you want as many people getting these boosters and allow them a week or two to take effect, when that happens we are in a much better position to fight against this virus. it is a race against time, my suspicion is things will look very different on boxing day and afterwards. in the last few minutes, the fa has said it won't be taking any action regarding comments made by liverpool managerjurgen klopp after his side's 2—2 draw with tottenham. klopp appeared to confront referee paul tierney at full time. klopp was unhappy liverpool player andy robertson was sent off for a tackle on emerson roy

but head coach thomas tuchel isn't concerned. to be emotional, it is easy to let disappointment take over. we continue to put the effort in, we will get the output, there is no alternative than to give everything in, there is no guarantee for results. we will keep on pushing for results. we will keep on pushing for the maximum effort and for the maximum input. the later game will be tottenham's first since december 5th, as they were one of the first clubs to shut down their training ground because of covid cases this month. but they've returned to training, albeit with a depleted squad, they could be missing up to six players today. they take on liverpool today, who also have their own covid problems, with virgil van dijk one of those missing for them. dealing with all the disruption has been difficult for the spurs boss. to find the right energy when you are prepared to play a game and then the game is postponed, then to come back to another training session, prepare another game against liverpool and you don't know if you are a

chelsea head coach thomas tuchel criticised his side for not doing the basics after an injury time goallised with this rocket for zenit st petersberg, with virtually the last kick of the game. it means chelsea will now face a group winner in the knock out phase. it's the second game running that chelsea have squandered a lead. manchester united were held to a 1—1 draw by young boys at old trafford. mason greenwood with the goal for ralf rangnick�*s side, who had already qualified as group winners. but there were other highlights for the home fans. the debuts for zidane iqbal, the first british—born player of south—asian heritage to make a senior appearance for the club, and charlie savage, the son of former wales international robbie. for the first time in 21 years, barcelona have failed to make the knockout stage. they lost 3—0 at group winners bayern munich and drop down, into the europa league play—offs. now, have a look at these pictures taken at chelsea's game, at home tojuventus in the women's champions league last night. they show the chelsea striker sam kerr knocking over a pitc

thomas tuchel said his chelsea side got lucky at watford. they are still top.een coming, but then the biggest match in town belonged to one of the biggest players in the world. salah! finds the net! of course he does. that's just how he likes it. already this game was drifting beyond everton but they did not help themselves. salah was seventh at this week's ballon d'or, but in the premier league's rankings, he's by far the top scorer. right now, he rarely misses. that made it 3—1, and with diogojota's fourth, everton were at a modern low. their worst home loss in this match since the '80s. their coach was once liverpool's manager. it is still the reds fans who sing his name. after these kind of games, its not easy, but i have to believe we will do it well, so i'm convinced in the second part of the league, we will do well, but we have to start winning. i like what i see. this was by far the best performance we've shown here at goodison since i was at liverpool and it's a very important moment. the top of the premier league is relentless. as teams around them ke
