    Which player would your team miss more than any other and why?

    John E Corke: Many would say Riyad Mahrez, but Leicester City would really miss N'Golo Kante if he was unavailable. Wait...

    Flaidey Ghand: Is there a more important player in any side than Gylfi Sigurdsson at Swansea?

    Gareth Elton: Tommy Lee or Ian Evatt, our goalkeeper and probably best defender at Chesterfield. We're struggling a lot without Tommy.

    Keep the suggestions coming in to us via the hashtag #bbcsportsday on Twitter.

    It's a World Cup final for England in Dublin - Jonespublished at 14:13 Greenwich Mean Time 13 March 2017

    Six Nations

    Eddie Jones was asked if this Six Nations campaign will be regarded as a failure if England don't win the Grand Slam.

    "If we were to get beaten on Saturday, and we won't, we're still the Six Nations champions but we'd be disappointed not to win the Grand Slam," he said.

    "It's a great opportunity for us. We're preparing for the World Cup and this is a World Cup final. I's winner takes all."

    Leicester City

    You didn't think they'd get away with not mentioning Claudio Ranieri, did you?

    It was a short but sweet answer when Craig Shakespeare was asked if there had been any contact since his departure.

    “We haven’t spoken since. We’ll probably be in contact in future. I have no problem with that.”

    Everyone understands this week is the biggie - Jonespublished at 13:49 Greenwich Mean Time 13 March 2017

    Six Nations

    England head coach Eddie Jones has been speaking to the media ahead of the final set of Six Nations fixtures on Saturday.

    England play Ireland in Dublin, where a win will see them win the Grand Slam. When asked if his players were allowed to enjoy their Six Nations triumph, Jones said all eyes were on Dublin.

    "Our mindset was on this weekend but every time we come back here after a game we go down to the bar. The players and staff bring their families and enjoy themselves," he told Sky Sports.

    "Everyone understands this week is the biggie. We're ready to go to another level against Ireland this week."

    Which player would your team miss more than any other and why?

    James Nesbitt: If Dover Athletic lost Ricky Miller, we wouldn't be in the running for promotion. 32 goals so far this season.

    Nick Denton: Toby Alderweireld, just look at Tottenham's defensive record with him playing.

    Derry Bannister94: Ipswich - without a doubt Tom Lawrence. We will miss him when his loan ends, our saviour so many times this season.

    Hopefully I’ll stay calm, of course I'll be excited - Shakespeare published at 13:36 Greenwich Mean Time 13 March 2017

    Leicester City v Sevilla (Tuesday, 19:45 GMT)

    Leicester City

    Craig Shakespeare says Leicester City's away goal makes tomorrow's home leg against Sevilla interesting.

    "We knew by getting the away goal it gave us a great opportunity," said Shakespeare. "It’ll be a special occasion and the atmosphere will be electric. We’re not going to be open but I want to play on the front foot.

    “I’m quite calm and collected. Hopefully I’ll stay calm so the players aren’t overemotional. Of course I’ll be excited. We have to compete for the 90 minutes or extra-time. I didn’t see the Barcelona game (versus Paris St-Germain) but I saw the result." 

    Sevilla won 2-1 in the first leg, with Jamie Vardy scoring for the Foxes in Claudio Ranieri's last game as the club's manager.

    Shakespeare needs to take control more as manager - Drinkwater published at 13:29 Greenwich Mean Time 13 March 2017

    Leicester City v Sevilla (Tuesday, 19:45 GMT)

    Leicester midfielder Danny Drinkwater joins Craig Shakespeare in his pre-Champions League news conference.

    The 27-year-old said he and the rest of the squad would be happy if Shakespeare got the job on a long-term basis.

    “It’s a great appointment. It’s a good fit. We haven’t got much time to turn things around but there's no better person for the job," said Drinkwater. "I don’t think it’s changed an awful lot. He needs to take control more as manager. Any changes he’s made have been positive for the players.

    “He’s been a pleasure to work with as manager – but he’s taken different roles as a coach. Maybe more of a step back than he is now but he worked both roles as good as each other. He helps us enjoy the football. Just enjoy your football. Work hard, do the simple things and the rest will shine through.

    "It’s one of the biggest games in the club’s history tomorrow. A massive thing for me is hearing the music before kick-off. There’s not really a bigger stage in club football.”

    Commonwealth Games

    The 2022 Commonwealth Games will no longer take place in Durban, South Africa, the BBC understands.

    South Africa’s sports minister Fikile Mbalula last month indicated the city may not be able to host the event because of financial constraints.

    "We gave it our best shot but we can't go beyond. If the country says we don't have this money, we can't," he said.

    Liverpool has offered to host the event.

    I'm not looking beyond this season - Shakespearepublished at 13:12 Greenwich Mean Time 13 March 2017

    Leicester City v Sevilla (Tuesday, 19:45 GMT)

    New Leicester boss Craig Shakespeare, who is in charge of the Foxes until the end of the season, has been talking to the media.

    Asked if he would have to change after moving up from his assistant role, he said: " For me how you treat and talk to people is so important. Man management is a real big component, of course there will be decisions that have to be made but as long as you explain it to people players will be happy with that.

    "I'm not looking beyond this season. We have massive games coming up and we have to focus on that. We will have plenty of time in the summer to take stock and evaluate things then."

    On the Champions League last-16 second-leg game against Sevilla tomorrow, he added: "There is a great opportunity for us and we will give it our best shot."
