Celtic

Celtic manager Elena Sadiku has debunked any suggestion defender Caitlin Hayes has been suspended, despite rumours insinuating a falling out between the two.

The Swede said the Republic of Ireland international has been "resting" but will be in the squad as she has been back in training.

"I think you can trust me when I say that she’s not been suspended, she's been resting," she added.

Sadiku did confirm, though, that full-back Hana Kerner and forward Kit Koferski would miss out through injury.

Chelsea boss Sonia Bompastor has confirmed that four first-team players have not travelled with the squad.

Kadeisha Buchanan, Millie Bright, Sjoeke Nusken and Mayra Ramirez are all absent, while Lauren James remains sidelined with a calf injury.

"We have been playing a lot of games and this is a special week because we play three games," she said.

"As a manager it’s important to manage some players."

Thanks Lee. Keep your responses coming in.

A lot of that side have made an appearance for the senior team. Might even be some kind of record.

Have England got better at integrating their younger stars in recent years? Kinda feels like it.

Here's the England team from the Euros 2023 final that FMac mentions.

They beat Spain 1-0 thanks to a Curtis Jones goal in first-half stoppage-time.

Some big names in that side. Cole Palmer, Angel Gomes, Anthony Gordon...

Wednesday night Women's Champions League is set to be an exciting one as Celtic face Chelsea at Celtic Park.

It's the first time the women's side will play at Celtic Park in the Champions League, a week after it hosted a memorable win for the men's side against RB Leipzig in Europe's elite competition.

The Scottish Women's Premier League champions have suffered back-to-back defeats by Twente and Real Madrid in their first two group-stage games, while Sonia Bompastor's Chelsea sit top of Group B with two wins from two.

Much has been made of the size of crowd expected, with the record for a Scottish women's game of 15,822 achieved on the last day of the 2023 season when Celtic hosted Hearts.

And if you want to watch the whole episode of the Football News Show, then here it is:

Former Leeds and Newcastle midfielder and ex-Charlton and Birmingham boss, Lee Bowyer is now head coach of Caribbean island Montserrat. He explained to the Football News Show why he wanted the challenge of coaching abroad and wanting more high profile opportunities to be given to English coaches.

‘’It’s tough because a lot of clubs now lean towards the foreign managers. It might have an effect because a lot of clubs are foreign owned, and they think they are better than Brits - that isn’t true I don’t think. We should be given a chance, and hopefully in the future other doors start opening for us.’’

The latest episode of the Football News show looks at where the next generation of elite English coaches are coming from and the barriers – costs, opportunities and a need to broaden their horizons abroad.

Former Bolton midfielder Fabrice Muamba, who is currently a first team coach at Burnley, says the Football Association need to reconsider the price of their pro-licence courses, as this is holding English coaches back compared to European counterparts.

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has been praised for his "really lovely" intervention after coming to the aid of an unwell passenger who almost collapsed on a flight.

Those on the EasyJet flight from Manchester to Lisbon described seeing the footballer get up from his seat before helping to catch the man who had fallen ill.

Susanna Lawson, 49, was sitting on the row just behind Fernandes and said she thought he had got up "presumably to go to the toilet".

But she then turned around to see him catch the man who "looked like he was passing out" before the Premier League star called for help from stewards.

"The other stewards went running up the plane to help and luckily there was a spare seat right at the back, so they all got the gentleman into the seat," she said.

"Bruno stayed with him, for, I think - I lost track of time - five or 10 minutes."

Ms Lawson confirmed the unwell man was "absolutely fine", managing to stand up and walk back through the plane.

Howard Webb was speaking publicly for the first time since Coote was suspended with immediate effect after he appeared to make derogatory comments about Liverpool and their former manager Jurgen Klopp in a video that circulated online.

"We became aware of a video that was being circulated on social media that we are taking very seriously," said Webb.

"We've instigated a full investigation. One of our referees, David Coote, has been suspended with immediate effect pending the outcome of that investigation.

"There's not much more I can say at this stage until we've worked through that investigation."

More from referees' chief Howard Webb: "A VAR that's normally really talented and reliable, but gets uber-focused in this situation on De Ligt's leg. His leg coming through on to Danny Ings, not making any contact with the ball. The ball's already past De Ligt as he as he makes contact with Danny Ings.

"And the VAR sees that as a clear foul. I think he was too focused on that aspect. I don't think he should have got involved.

"I think this is a situation where we'd leave the on-field decision as it is, probably whichever way it's called. On balance, I don't think it's a penalty kick."

On-field referees are not required to follow the recommendations of the VAR official.

"They are told that they are absolutely within their rights to keep their decision when they go to the screen."

Referees' chief Howard Webb says West Ham should not have been awarded a penalty during Erik ten Hag's final game in charge of Manchester United on 27 October.

The Hammers were given the decision on the recommendation of video assistant referee Michael Oliver following Matthijs de Ligt's challenge on Danny Ings.

David Coote, the on-field referee, had waved play on following the incident but awarded a penalty after reviewing the incident on the pitch-side monitor.

Jarrod Bowen scored the penalty, sealing a 2-1 win for West Ham. Ten Hag was sacked less than 24 hours later.

"I thought it was a misread by the VAR," Webb told Sky Sports' Mic'd Up programme.

Anon: He sadly passed away in 2013 so he couldn't become an in-law but the late Bert Trautmann certainly qualifies as hard man!

During the 1956 FA Cup final between Manchester City and Birmingham City, goalkeeper Bert collided with striker Peter Murphy. Bert got a knee to the neck and was knocked completely unconscious.

As substitutes weren't allowed at the time, he was revived and insisted on staying on the pitch. He managed to play the final seventeen minutes and saw his team win 3-1.

A few days after the match he went to the doctor with ‘a bit of a sore neck’ and discovered that his neck was actually broken. Let's hope he got some sort of bonus for his efforts.

Absolutely! Here is some footage of the 1956 final to see just how that injury to Trautmann came about
