Atletico Madrid striker Diego Costa has been training today ahead of Saturday's Champions League final against city rivals Real Madrid.

Costa was a major doubt after tearing a hamstring during last weekend's 1-1 draw with Barcelona - a result which won Atletico the Spanish title. The Spain international, who has scored 36 goals this season, was treated in Belgrade using horse placenta.

Turkish playmaker Arda Turan was also back on Thursday.

There will be a live text commentary on the BBC Sport website for the champions League final with live commentary on BBC Radio 5 live.

"The 35-year-old England midfielder is out of contract following 13 years at Stamford Bridge. He has scored a club-record 211 goals in 649 appearances since joining from West Ham for £11m in June 2001.

"Lampard signed a new one-year deal in May 2013, but has yet to discuss another extension and is now a free agent."

Some comments on the BBC Sport Facebook page on the news Chelsea's David Luiz could be moving to Paris St-Germain in a transfer worth £40m.

Paul Pollard: David Luiz is worth £20m at the very most. To be honest I don't even think he's a centre-back, he's more of a central defensive midfielder.

Izuchukwu Banks: Chelsea should cash in; modern football is more about business. And this is a good business indeed.

Andy Aj Potter: Absolute joke not even worth half that and what happened to this so called Financial Fair Play.

Some quick reaction to the news Patrice Evra will be staying at Manchester United for the 2014-15 season.

Phil Skade:, external Fantastic news Evra is staying. Couldn't afford to lose the defensive experience of Vidic, Ferdinand and Evra all at once.

Rich:, external I hate how Evra has got a new contract. He's way past his expiry date. Needs to go. Not the same player he was before. Poor decision.

Muhammad Bassa:, external Great news for us, we all know how much he love United and he is a leader so it will also help the team.

Canola, with the Bardiani team, celebrated his biggest success by holding off Venezuela's Jackson Rodriguez and French rider Angelo Tulik in a dash to the line at the end of the 157km run from Fossano to Rivarolo.

The trio were part of an early six-man breakaway, with an 11-second gap back to the fourth-placed finisher, another Frenchman Nacer Bouhanni, holder of the red points jersey.

Manchester United on Twitter:, external We can confirm that Patrice Evra has extended his contract at #mufc for another year.

More from Kevin Pietersen: "I did, and continue to have, a good relationship with most of the England players, which has been subsequently highlighted by a number of press interviews.

"With regard to the criticisms aimed at my 'the way I play type attitude', I feel it's only reasonable to remind Mr Downton that this method has brought me over 13,500 runs for England, in addition to being part of four Ashes-winning teams and a World T20-winning side, all of which achievements I am hugely proud of."

After England and Wales Cricket Board managing director Paul Downton said yesterday that Kevin Pietersen had been dropped from the national team because of a lack of effort and interest, the batsman has issued a statement.

Pietersen says: "The suggestion that I was uninterested during the winter Ashes series against Australia is wholly untrue.

"Although I was having injections in my knee, which inhibited my mobility and thus my ability to field close to the wicket, I was fully motivated to play for England.

"While I accept that the series as a whole fell well below my own personal standards, I finished the series as the top scorer."

Chelsea assistant manager Rui Faria has his punishment reduced by the Football Association after his appeal against a six-match stadium ban was partly upheld on appeal.

The FA announce Faria, who admitted two charges following his dismissal during the controversial Barclays Premier League loss to Sunderland, will serve a four-match stadium ban, with two games suspended.

It means the Portuguese, Jose Mourinho's right-hand man, has two games left to serve at the start of next season after missing the final two games of the recently completed campaign.

"Radical changes are to be made to the Flat racing programme at Warwick after Tuesday's fixture at the West Midlands track was abandoned following the fatal fall of a runner.

"Conceding there's been a 'loss of confidence' in parts of the racing surface, the owner, the Jockey Club, has transferred four fixtures away from the course while the two that remain will stage sprint races only.

"And officials are to what they call "review their options" on Flat racing at Warwick."
