Catalans Dragons have suffered a blow after winger Vincent Duport was ruled out for the rest of the season with a shoulder injury.

The France international suffered a ruptured tendon in the Dragons' 33-22 defeat at Hull FC on 20 March and requires surgery.

"The news is a hugely disappointing blow for the player and the whole team," said Catalans head coach Laurent Frayssinous.

"Vincent already came back from big injuries in the past and I'm sure he will bounce back stronger."

Italian side Roma have been ordered to close part of their stadium at their next home game after fans displayed banners insulting the mother of a Napoli fan who died following clashes between rival supporters last year.

Serie A's disciplinary tribunal said the banners were "by their content provocatively insulting to the mother of a supporter of the opposing team, who died in dramatic circumstances".

The mother of the Napoli fan has spearheaded a campaign against soccer violence since her son's death.

Here's a story to warm the cockles of your heart. Oklahoma City Thunder basketball star Russell Westbrook has given away a car that he won to a young single mother.

Westbrook was awarded the car after being named the best player at this season's All Star Game, but the guard decided he didn't need it.

So instead he bequeathed it to Kerstin Gonzales, who has two young sons and had been receiving assitance from social services.

Westbrook said: "Today was a good stepping stone to show her everything is going to be all right."

Macedonia have sacked coach Bosko Gjurovski after a poor start to Euro 2016 qualifying which has seen them pick up just three points from five matches.

Veteran Dagenham & Redbridge striker Jamie Cureton is eager to be offered a new contract and prolong his career.

The 39-year-old scored a hat-trick against AFC Wimbledon on Monday to take his tally to 18 goals this season.

"The season has gone very well. I'm more than happy to give it another shot next year if someone will have me," he told BBC London 94.9.

"I've thoroughly enjoyed working under Wayne Burnett and playing for Dagenham. Hopefully something can be sorted out."

Liverpool will freeze adult season tickets prices for next season and reduce junior season tickets by 10%.

The announcement comes on the back of two league defeats after which Reds boss Brendan Rodgers admitted his side's chances of Champions League qualification were virtually over.

"The club had planned to slightly increase season ticket prices in line with inflation but after discussing the club's wider ticketing strategy with the Supporters' Committee ticketing working group we decided to freeze prices," said Liverpool chief executive Ian Ayre.

A bit more on Notts County confirming former Hamburg boss Ricardo Moniz as their new manager.

The Dutchman, 50, last month has signed a three-year contract and Dave Kevan will be Moniz's assistant, with strength and conditioning coach Mike Edwards and goalkeeping coach Kevin Pilkington remaining in their posts.

And chairman Ray Trew says: "Ricardo has a fantastic reputation, not only for the style of football he plays, but also his ability to spot and nurture young talent.

"In Ricardo we have found that because, having spoken to him at length, his footballing philosophy is one of structured attacking play, which I hope is something that our fans will buy in to."

Blackburn manager Gary Bowyer has jumped to the defence of his under-fire Liverpool counterpart Brendan Rodgers as the two sides prepare to face off in an FA Cup quarter-final tomorrow night.

Rodgers has come in for criticism after Liverpool suffered successive defeats in the Premier League to derail their top-four challenge.

But Bowyer said: "I think it's ridiculous that after losing two games, the team that was hailed prior to those two games as being the best in the Premier League then comes in for that.

"Brendan Rodgers has done an unbelievable job, he doesn't need me telling him. But that's just the world we live in now - it's crazy."

England batsman Gary Ballance's poor run of form has continued with a low score in England's warm-up match in the West Indies.

Ballance has been dismissed for just 16 in the match against a St Kitts and Nevis XI.

That means Ballance has scored just 52 runs in his last five England innings, after a disappointing World Cup. England are now 202-3, replying to 59.

Aljaz Bedene, who switched allegiance from Slovenia to Britain last month, has won his match against Maximo Gonzalez at the ATP Tour event in Casablanca.

McLaren driver Fernando Alonso says he is happy with the team's progress after his difficult start to the campaign.

The Spaniard blamed a "steering problem" for the pre-season crash that led to him missing the first race of the calendar in Australia.

Alonso, 33, retired from the subsequent Malaysian GP but says he is looking forward to Sunday's race in China.

"That sort of progress really gives the whole team belief and confidence in the path we're taking," said Alonso. "The steps we took between Australia and Malaysia were extremely impressive."

Notts County are set to appoint Ricardo Moniz as their new manager.

The Dutchman had ruled himself out of the running for the role last week due to "family reasons" but appears to have had a change of heart.

Notts County have been without a permanent manager since the departure of Shaun Derry on 23 March, with Paul Hart and Mick Halsall taking caretaker charge of their recent games.

Moniz has previously managed Red Bull Salzburg and worked as a skills coach at Tottenham.

England are back up and running in their warm-up match against a St Kitts and Nevis XI, and Alastair Cook has just brought up a century.

It's Cook's first ton for England since an Ashes warm-up in Hobart in November 2013.

Cook promptly retired out to give other batsmen a chance of some time in the middle.

World champion Carl Frampton (pictured left) has criticised the promoters of Scott Quigg (pictured right) for a televised offer to fight.

WBA champion Quigg and promoter Eddie Hearn appeared on Sky on Tuesday with a £1.5m cheque, which they promised Frampton if he would take the bout.

But representatives of the Belfast fighter say there have already been "several attempts" to meet Hearn.

"It is frustrating they have deviated from negotiations with this TV offer," said 28-year-old Frampton.
