Uefa chief Michel Platini warns of a return to the "dark days" of hooliganism unless public authorities in Europe help govern the game.

The Frenchman says there is a rising trend of "nationalism and extremism" being "observed in our stadiums".

He reiterated calls for a European sports police force to avoid events witnessed in the "not-so-distant past. "A past where hooligans and all manner of fanatics called the shots in certain European stadiums," he adds.

Hong Kong's Adderly Fong joins Formula 1 team Lotus as a development driver.

The 25-year-old will also undergo a development programme while taking part in the GP3 and GT Asia series.

"I'll be able to learn how an F1 team operates during race weekends as an integral part of the team and these invaluable experiences are going to lay the foundations of my future development as an F1 driver," says Fong in a statement.

So Greg Dyke's had his say, but how do we go about improving the quality of home-grown players? Do you agree with Dyke's proposal?

Should we limit the number of foreign players in the Premier League, or do they actually enrich it? Do our players become better by playing alongside those from overseas? Would Dyke's proposal be good or bad for clubs in the Football League?

Ryder Cup captain Darren Clarke is considering asking Liverpool's Steven Gerrard to address his Europe side when they play the United States in 2016.

Europe will face the US at Hazeltine in Minnesota when Gerrard is set to be playing in the US with LA Galaxy. Clarke's predecessor Paul McGinley asked ex-Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson to speak to his players during their 2014 success.

"If I did something like that, he'd be someone I'd consider," said Clarke.

Will the speech last longer than 38 seconds though....

Daniel Sturridge, pictured here alongside a classic Phil Jones facial expression, has been ruled out of England's Euro 2016 qualifier with Lithuania on Friday with a hip injury.

The Liverpool striker, 25, also misses the friendly against Italy in Turin on Tuesday, 31 March.

Sturridge sustained the problem during Liverpool's 2-1 Premier League defeat by Manchester United on Sunday.

There's so much to be said about how we go about improving the quality of English footballers, but there's plenty of other stuff going on in the world of sport so time now to bring you up to date with the latest headlines.

Former Arsenal striker John Hartson says the FA need to be careful about bringing in new rules as foreign players can help to improve their English counterparts.

"The best players I ever worked with were Dennis Bergkamp and Henrik Larsson," says the ex-Wales international. "I learned so much from them.

"Having 12 English players in a squad may not be a bad rule but you don't want to prevent good foreign players coming over and playing in this country. By that, you could miss out on a couple of really good foreign players who could be of benefit to the Premier League."

Is it a good plan? This is what Owen Gibson in the Guardian has to say:, external

"Whatever English football's problem, all of a sudden Harry Kane seems to have become the answer. Which in itself is part of the problem. Even before his first England cap the prolific Spurs striker has been invoked by the FA chairman, Greg Dyke, as a challenge to other clubs to promote homegrown talent from within rather than spending their broadcasting bounty on ever more overseas players.

"Dyke is clearly aiming for his legacy to be both a long-overdue shot in the arm for the embarrassingly threadbare grassroots facilities in this country as well as some progress on the intractable basket of issues stymieing the development of young English players.

"His problem is that to complete the first he will almost certainly need the Premier League's cash and on the second he will need their goodwill. His tenure is likely to be defined by how persuasive he can be in delivering both."

Right then, so what's this Greg Dyke home-grown proposal all about?

The FA chairman has warned Premier League football is in danger of "having nothing to do with English people" and, to combat this, English football's governing body has revealed plans to toughen the rules on home-grown talent.

Under the proposals outlined by the FA on Monday:

• A player will have to have been registered with his club from the age of 15 - down from 18 - to qualify as 'home-grown'.

• The minimum number of home-grown players in a club's first-team squad of 25 will increase from eight to 12, phased over four years from 2016.

• At least two home-grown players must also be 'club-trained' players - defined as any player, irrespective of nationality, that has been registered for three years at their club from the age of 15.

• Only the best non-EU foreign players will be granted permission to play in England.

On the back page of the Mirror are comments, external from former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher, who warns Raheem Sterling "he is risking the wrath of Liverpool fans with his contract standoff".

"The longer it continues the more frustration there will be and it paints him and his advisors in a bad light," says Carragher.

Greg Dyke's homegrown proposals are also back page news, external in the Guardian.

The article describes Dyke's plans to get tough on overseas-player quotas, but adds: "The proposals, designed to tackle a "grim picture" for young English players, are likely to put him [Dyke] on a collision course with top Premier League clubs who believe their investments in academy systems will bear fruit without the need for tougher quotas."

"Give us more home-grown heroes" screams the headline on the back page of the Daily Telegraph.

In the article itself,, external Henry Winter writes: "Greg Dyke, the FA chairman, is demanding that clubs search for the home-grown hero inside to see if they have a Harry Kane - and then play him. Dyke is targeting an increase from the current 35 per cent of English players in the Premier League to "over 40 per cent".

Good morning, and welcome to Tuesday's edition of Sportsday.

It is a talking point as old as the Premier League, and probably a fair few years older than that - how do we produce the England stars of the future?

Greg Dyke, the FA chairman, hopes he has the answer, having unveiled new proposals to limit the number of non-EU players in the Premier League in the hope of improving the quality of home-grown players and, as a result, the England team.

"How many other Harry Kanes are around in the youth teams of Premier League clubs," Dyke asks. "It was almost by chance that Tim Sherwood became manager at Tottenham for a time and put him in the side - otherwise he would still be out on loan at Millwall or somewhere else."

We'll get into the nitty gritty of the proposals over the next hour but first, let's take a look at what's leading the back pages of today's newspapers...
