"Jurgen Klopp has admitted he will make changes to his side for this weekend's FA Cup third-round match with Exeter.

"'That is the thing we have to do now, said Klopp. 'We have to take the situation like it is and we go to Exeter - I will be there for sure, I'll take a few players with me. It's a great tournament, we have to make decisions in this moment for the team so we have to make changes, that is all I can say because I don't know who is available. 

"'Now it's Exeter then we have five or six days until we play Wednesday, so it's nearly a break! Then we play Arsenal and Manchester United. No big space to enjoy but what we saw at Stoke was a brilliant performance of my team, especially the first half, we will always have a team on the pitch and that's okay. 

"'We time for a few players to recover and come back and be available for Arsenal. The squad is big, with all the young players it's really big, and we have to use this quality now and that is what we are doing.'"

Here is some more of your reaction to Roberto Martinez's assertion that Gareth Barry is one of the best English players ever...

Sean McColl: Surprised by those career stats on Barry extremely good for a defensive mid. International level never good enough though.

The Football Guru: Barry vastly underrated. Man Citys first PL title owed hin a big debt, but one of the best English players ever is pushing it.

John Ghoti: Barry is average, the only area he's top is avoiding bookings he deserved. His stats are sign of a lack of quality DMs.  

Bolton Wanderers fans have united to form a supporters' trust in light of the club's financial problems.

Over 1,000 fans turned up at the Macron Stadium to vote for the creation of the trust.

The Championship strugglers have been put up for sale by owner Eddie Davies, with debts of £172.9m and a winding-up petition.

Here is some of of your reaction to Roberto Martinez's assertion that Gareth Barry is one of the best English players ever...

Ad Stroud: He may be underrated in the Premier League, but England performances weren't the best. Good at passing sideways.

David Lindley: Regarding Gareth Barry. there's a big difference between quality and longevity.....

Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri has been fined £700 after admitting speeding on a road in Cambridgeshire.

The 64-year-old was caught speeding at 96mph in a 70mph zone on 13 October.

Ranieri was also given five points on his licence and ordered to pay £85 in costs and a £70 victim surcharge.

England and Gloucester wing Jonny May has been ruled out for the rest of the season after undergoing knee surgery.

According to Jordanne Whiley, a big British hope for wheelchair tennis gold in Rio, it had a huge impact.

"Now we've got bigger crowds, more interest from the public, more sponsorship and more media coverage."

However, wheelchair racer Hannah Cockroft says London generated a buzz that may be tough to repeat.

"It's never going to be like London again," said the 2012 double gold medallist. "We are not going to be able to create that hype again.

"The Games drew sports fans and non-sports fans. We have to be realistic."

The rise of Jamie Vardy and Dele Alli should be a wake-up call to big clubs about talent in the lower leagues, according to Peterborough chairman Darragh MacAnthony.

"I'm sick of seeing 80-90% of the transfer money leaving the country. The Premier League need to do something in my opinion because it's ridiculous," he told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire.

"It doesn't do England or Great Britain any good, and it certainly doesn't do the Football League any good."

"Liverpool are interested in Inter Milan defender Andrea Ranocchia, although they have not made a bid for the 27-year-old.

"The BBC understands that Norwich have offered around 10 million euros for the player, along with a salary in the region of 3 million euros per year.

"Ranocchia, who's played 20 times for Italy and over 120 times for Inter, was captain last season.

"But he's been relegated to the bench in the current campaign, in which Inter lead the Serie A table. "It's understood that Inter's depth of defenders means they are happy to let him go, but he's in two minds about the move."

"Injuries dominated today's Liverpool press conference.

"Philippe Coutinho is unlikely to be back until February after Klopp said: 'Phil is more serious than Dejan, (who is more serious) than Kolo but none of these are available for tomorrow. With muscle injuries you don't know. Kolo was cramp and that is not a problem but after three days it is not possible to play next game, but for next week it should not be a problem. With Dejan will be available after Manchester United and Phil needs one, maybe two or three weeks longer.'"

There's a war of words developing between Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp and his Sunderland counterpart Sam Allardyce.

The pair had a tete-a-tete during their Premier League meeting last week, and after calling Klopp a "soft German", Allardyce has now said the Reds' injury crisis is down to the manager working his players too hard. 

Here's what Jurgen had to say about the matter, via BBC Sport's Juliette Ferrington:

A campaign to boost the profile of Paralympians and generate extra funding in the run-up to the 2016 Games in Rio was launched today.  

But should the names of Ellie Simmonds, David Weir, Jonnie Peacock, Hannah Cockroft, Aled Davies and Jordanne Whileybe better known than they are?
