Britain's Johanna Konta boosted her hopes of qualifying for the WTA Finals with an impressive 7-5 7-6 (8-6) win over Spain's Carla Suarez Navarro at the Wuhan Open in China.

Konta, seeded 11th, closed the gap on Suarez Navarro in the Race to Singapore, with the Spaniard occupying the eighth and final qualifying place, two ahead of Konta in 10th.

The Briton will play Germany’s world number one Angelique Kerber or Czech 14th seed Petra Kvitova in the last eight.

And in case you missed Allardyce's latest comments on the situation, here he is.

FA chairman Greg Clarke said Sam Allardyce's comments in a Daily Telegraph sting were "inappropriate for a manager to say" in an interview with our sports editor Dan Roan.

Watch the full interview below.

You've got just under half an hour to have your say for who you would like to see replace Sam Allardyce as England's next permanent manager.

As expected, Manchester United's Wayne Rooney was training this morning.

England defender Luke Shaw was the notable absentee amongst the 24-man group, with Phil Jones also missing.

Manchester United's Europa League campaign did not get off to the best of starts, with a 1-0 defeat to Feyenoord a fortnight ago.

Daley Blind will accompany manager Jose Mourinho at the pre-match press conference at 13:30 BST.

Former Wales international Gareth 'Alfie' Thomas has been helping train three women's teams to run the Cardiff Half Marathon this Sunday.  

You can watch how they've been getting on here.

And we'll have live text commentary on the Cardiff Half Marathon and Great Scottish Run on this website.

Sam Allardyce's position with the undercover Telegraph sting was "morally bankrupt" and "totally unacceptable," according to BBC 5 live commentator Alan Green. 

Green added: "Yes you can argue he has broke no law but the sheer greed exhibited, when he was already on £3m per year, chasing another £400,000, when he hadn't taken charge of a game, beggars belief.

"What was he thinking about? It was an atrocious misjudgment."

Kenya's team leader at the Rio Olympics has been charged with stealing $256,000 (just under £200,000), money prosecutors say was for officials' and athletes' stay at the games.

Stephen Arap Soi, the Kenya chef de mission in Rio, has denied five charges relating to the alleged theft of the money and is accused of taking $234,000 (£180,000) on a flight from Kenya to Brazil on July 20 without declaring it to customs officials. Prosecutors say that money was not accounted for at the Olympics.

Soi was charged with stealing the remainder in smaller amounts on separate occasions. Two other officials, national Olympic committee of Kenya vice president Pius Ochieng and secretary general Francis Kinyili Paul, denied charges of stealing team uniforms provided by sponsor Nike.

During the Games, Kenyan athletes expressed anger after being stranded in a Rio shanty town where gunshots could be heard.

The Optimist: Rafa Benitez will be a perfect replacement for Big Sam. He knows the game very well from the grassroots level.

Barry Kane: Amazed at the lack of shouts for Hoddle. The last manager we had that had a strategy, game plan and respect of the country.

Matt Flecknoe: Let's get Klinsmann in, England cricket team got an Aussie in and it's worked! So let's have a German manager in charge of the footy team.

Were they drunk? Weren't they drunk? 

West Ham will investigate claims that Andy Carroll and Darren Randolph were drunk on Tuesday afternoon.

This comes after pictures surfaced of the pair on social media, after a club-sanctioned night out on Monday.

England striker Carroll was fairly busy on Twitter throughout the day, but it's fairly hard to see whether his cryptic tweets back up or play down the rumours.

However, West Ham have clearly seen enough, with a spokesman saying: "The club will be looking into these allegations and will deal with the players as we see fit."

The club have lost five of their six Premier League games this season.

Two of the biggest names in Irish horse-racing are to split. 

Airline boss Michael O'Leary's Gigginstown House Stud operation is removing its sixty horses from the stables of champion trainer Willie Mullins in a row over training fees. 

The horses on the move include top chaser Don Poli.

Speaking of Wayne Rooney...

Remember the good old days for him at Old Trafford?

The current club captain scored a hat-trick on his Manchester United debut in the 6-2 Champions League victory over Fenerbahce back in 2004.

We should get to see him this morning at training.

Newport are bottom of League Two after one win in their opening nine games of the season.

First-team coaches Sean McCarthy and James Bittner will remain at the club and assume caretaker responsibilities.

Sports Minister Tracey Crouch says recent allegations regarding English football are "very concerning" following Sam Allardyce's England departure and further reports in the Daily Telegraph.

"The integrity of sport is absolutely paramount and we have been clear that we expect the highest standards of governance and transparency from sports governing bodies, here in the UK and on the international stage," she said. 

"We will be discussing the matter with the football authorities. 

"All the evidence presented to them must be investigated fully and we stand ready to assist in any way we can."
