South Africa fast bowler Dale Steyn has been ruled out of the third Test against England because of a shoulder injury.

Meanwhile, England say that Nick Compton is recovering from a stomach illness and will be fit to play in the third Test on Thursday. He missed training today but is expected to return tomorrow.

Jonjo on the go

Jonjo Shelvey has played his last game for Swansea ahead of a possible £10m move to Newcastle, according to the Sun.

If so, Shelvey hardly had the perfect send-off as the Swans were shocked by League Two side Oxford in a thrilling FA Cup third round tie.

Shelvey, 23, was also wildly off-target with several shots throughout and was then abused by one angry fan before making a return gesture after the game.

You can see the highlights from that game and the best of the FA Cup third round here.

We are asking for your advice to potentially Premier League-bound Pep Guardiola.

Here are some more of your answers.

Ederiomo: Be ready to be really tested on working hard to win a real league not walkover leagues like the German and Spanish leagues.

Sean: Pep, if you're having trouble catching your afternoon siesta, pop along to Old Trafford.. zzz #siestafootball

Kelvin Benye: Pep, don't talk about refs, don't say anything about the FA leadership, don't talk about the press, cause they can ruin you.

Deila warns Celtic fans

Celtic boss Ronny Deila says the club's fans risk creating a "bad reputation" after flares were thrown during their 3-0 Scottish Cup win over Stranraer.

"We don't want this," Deila said. "It is something we need to get stopped.

"It is not positive for anybody and we don't want anything to do with it. Safety is the most important thing."

Celtic already have a Uefa charge pending after fans set off flares intheir Europa League match with Fenerbahce in December.

Radical set of proposals

Dan Roan

BBC Sports editor

"This is a radical set of proposals by UKA, which is desperate to see progress on anti-doping amid the worst crisis the sport has known.

"It believes the IAAF, run by Lord Coe, is too preoccupied with salvaging its own credibility after recent corruption allegations.

"With time running out to restore public trust before the 2017 World Championships in London, it has taken it upon itself to lead a debate."

World records should be reset

Here's a story and a half... UK Athletics has suggested world records should be reset to help achieve a "new era" of clean competition.

The sport's governing body has made several proposals, including longer bans for drug cheats and a public register of tested athletes.

It follows a number of doping and cover-up allegations.

UKA chairman Ed Warner said it was time for "radical reform", adding: "The integrity of athletics was challenged as never before in 2015."

Neil makes no apologies for changes

Norwich boss Alex Neil insists he has no regrets about making seven changes for their 3-0 FA Cup defeat by Manchester City.

The Canaries have games against Stoke and Bournemouth coming up and the Scot told BBC Radio Norfolk: "Our main priority is to stay in the Premier League, that's the bottom line.

"I make no apologies for changing the team up. I think it was the right decision, and I hope I'm justified in the next two games." 

'I'm speechless at the minute'

Needless to say Scott Waites was pretty chuffed with his victory.

"It seemed a million miles away when I had shoulder surgery. I had six weeks without throwing a dart. That's painful in itself. Now I'm taking the world title back home," he said.

"I'm speechless at the minute. I put my heart and soul into trying to win this."

Waites is the eighth player to win the BDO title more than once. The others are John Lowe, Eric Bristow, Jocky Wilson, Phil Taylor, Raymond van Barneveld, Ted Hankey and Martin Adams.

One-sided final

In case you missed it, a quick look back on the darts, where England's Scott Waites thrashed unseeded Canadian Jeff Smith 7-1 to win the BDO World Championship at Lakeside for a second time.

The 38-year-old regained the title he first won in 2013 and is the eighth player to win the crown more than once.

Waites, a carpenter from Huddersfield, raced into a 5-0 lead.

Smith, 40, took the sixth set with a 161 checkout to spark hopes of a fightback, but Waites eased to a comfortable victory.

Who is the best player on the planet?

Tonight sees the annual Ballon d'Or award to find out who is the best player on the planet. 

Well, we know it is one of three men. Barcelona's Lionel Messi, his team-mate Neymar or Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo. Throughout the day we will be throwing in some nice graphics about previous winners.

Fulham's England Under-21 striker Cauley Woodrow is expected to be sidelined for 10 to 12 weeks with a foot injury.

The 21-year-old went off during the first half of Saturday's FA Cup third-round defeat at Sheffield Wednesday. X-rays show that he fractured his fifth metatarsal.

He has scored four goals in 15 games this term.

Blues bids?

Chelsea have tabled a £30m bid for Shakhtar Donetsk attacking midfielder Alex Teixeira, 26, who has scored 26 goals in 26 games this season, reports the Daily Star.

Meanwhile, the Daily Express claims the Blues are also eyeing a deal for AC Milan striker Carlos Bacca and are willing to meet the £30m asking price.

Either way, looks like there could be some serious transfer action at the bridge this month.

Our first talking point of the day is asking for your advice that you would give Pep Guardiola, if, as expected, he comes to the Premier League in the summer.

What does the current Bayern Munich coach need to watch out for in English football?

Peter Lawless: Hey, Pep, practice your crowd psychology. Then they are too embarrassed to criticise you when your team plays badly.

Steve Howes: Advice for pep. Stop listening to whinny foreign coaches. Football fans like it this way, dont come and then complain.

John McEnerney: Pep go back 2 Catalonia play golf & forget about the EPL because you'll be frustrated by the lack of real quality players.

Marko faces his fear

Hear the one about new Liverpool signing Marko Grujic having his passport confiscated by his dad who opposed the move?

Well the Serbian midfielder has revealed another odd reason the move nearly didn't go through - claustrophobia.

In an interview with the Liverpool Echo, the 19-year-old says he nearly refused to spend an hour-long session in an MRI scanner as part of his medical.

“I am very claustrophobic, so it was very scary for me to lie for one hour in the dark in the MRI scanner,” he said.

Plane scare for Kompany

Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany was on a charter plane which came off the runway during take-off, the BBC understands.

The Citation CJ2 came to a stop on the grass at Norwich Airport just after 18:00 GMT on Saturday.

No-one was injured in the incident, an airport spokeswoman said.

The defender, who did not play in his team's FA Cup tie against Norwich, is understood to have been among five people on board.

Saivet the saviour?

Remember when Arsenal used to hoover up all the young talent from France?

Well in recent years Newcastle have taken on the mantle and they're on the trail of another - Senegal and Bordeaux winger Henri Saivet.

The Chronicle's chief sports writer Lee Ryder says the 25-year-old is already at Tyneside to thrash out the details but the deal is not yet done.

Jurgen Klopp has been giving some pearls of wisdom to Pep about what to expect in English football.

So that's what we want you to tell us... What advice would you give to Pep Guardiola about football in England?

It maybe the weather, the half-time chicken balti pies, always using the M6 toll-road, or something else altogether.
