The Daily Telegraph says Barcelona's preparations for tonight's Champions League clash with Manchester City have been "thrown in to turmoil" with coach Luis Enrique "refusing to defend Lionel Messi and Gerard Pique's late night visit to a casino" less than 48 hours before Tuesday's game.

It also says Chelsea are sending a dossier to the FA asking why their players are being treated differently to those at other clubs.

A statement from Uefa, European football's governing body.

"Uefa supports the recommendation made by the FIFA Task Force for the international match calendar 2018-24 to stage the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar from late November to late December 2022.

"Uefa believes that - for the benefits of players and fans - the event should be played in winter and now awaits the final decision from the FIFA Executive Committee meeting on 18/19 March 2015.

"Uefa sees no major issues in rescheduling its competitions for the 2022-23 season, should the 2022 FIFA World Cup proposal be approved by the FIFA Executive Committee, and UEFA acknowledges that the competition may be shortened and thus that the release period of players be reduced."

FIFA vice-president Jim Boyce, from from Northern Ireland, said: "I think (a 23 December final) is too close to Christmas - that's the only reservation I would have and I would like it a week earlier, but I want to wait until the FIFA executive committee meeting to hear all the details about the dates," he said.

"I welcome the fact all the stakeholders have been involved and although this is not going to please everyone I think common sense has prevailed.

"It will cause a lot of disruption but it is eight years away and people should have enough time to make it work."

Today's recommendations for a November/December World Cup in 2022 will be taken to FIFA's executive committee meeting in Zurich on March 19 and 20 for a final decision on the dates.

Britain's FIFA vice-president Jim Boyce says he will oppose any move to hold World Cup final as late as December 23.

After a Fifa task force announced its recommendation for a "late November to late December" winter World Cup following a meeting in Doha, Boyce said moving the World Cup to the winter was a "common sense" decision.

But he added that a final on December 23 - which is reportedly one of the options - would be too close to Christmas and the traditional festive matches.

Human rights experts have expressed their concern for the conditions facing migrant workers in Qatar ahead of the World Cup in 2022.

As BBC sports editor Dan Roan reports, a number of stadiums are under construction despite ongoing uncertainty surrounding the tournament.

Amnesty International has previously accused Qatar of failing to tackle the abuse of migrants, with more than 180 workers dying in the country and a significant number believed to have suffered injuries as a result of unsafe working practices.

Plenty of people voicing their opposition to a November/December World Cup - here's a few to redress the balance.

Ivan Doherty: Why not? The European leagues can take a break during the season. It will brighten up those dull winter evenings.

Philosophers Africa: People are scared of change. A December World Cup means I will be able to afford to watch all games because it will be holiday time.

Leo: I don't see what the problem is, I would very much welcome a Christmas World Cup.

Binyam says: "Caf is backing up 100% the proposals of task force and will adjust the calendar accordingly when a final decision will be made on the schedule of Qatar 2022‎."

"With the World Cup in 2022 set to be in November or December, surely the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations will have to move too or African players would be away nearly three months."

Fifa's general secretary Jerome Valcke says that holding the 2022 World Cup in November and December is the only solution to avoid heat problems.

Speaking after a meeting of a Fifa task force in Doha, Valcke said the group "touched on all the options".

He added: "It's clear there are pros and cons for all but there is one solution coming out from these discussions, which is November-December 2022."

Sheikh Salman bin Ebrahim Al-Khalifa, the man at the head of Fifa's taskforce that was set up to decide potential dates for the 2022 World Cup, has been talking.

He says: "We are very pleased that, after careful consideration of the various opinions and detailed discussions with all stakeholders, we have identified what we believe to be the best solution for the 2018-2024 international match calendar and football in general.

"It was a challenging task and I want to thank all members of the football community for their productive input and constructiveness in helping to find a solution that we believe can work for everyone."

You may well be asking why the World Cup in 2022 cannot be staged in the early months of that year.

Well, the Winter Olympics is the reason. The two bidding cities for the 2022 Winter Olympics - Almaty, Kazakhstan and Beijing, China - plan to hold the event from 4-20 February, 2022.

"The options to switch from a traditional summer date have been slowly whittled down, principally to avoid any clash with the Winter Olympics that's due to start in February that year.

"European clubs wanted it in May. But that option was swiftly rejected despite those teams supplying some 75% of the players at the last World Cup.

"Fifa, for its part, has urged compromise given its desire to grow the game by taking it to new regions."
