Away from the World Cup for a moment, Sir Bradley Wiggins will miss the British Championships road race in Wales on Sunday because of an injury.

A Team Sky spokesman told BBC Wales he was out of the event in Abergavenny, although the exact nature of his injury was unclear.

Wiggins, 34, had been scheduled to go for the double after winning the British time trial in Monmouthshire on Thursday.

On Friday, Wiggins was omitted from Team Sky's nine-man squad for the Tour de France which he won in 2012.

Colombia forward James Rodriguez is in the class of Diego Maradona, Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, according to Uruguay boss Oscar Tabarez.

Rodriguez's sensational goal was the first of two he scored as Uruguay were beaten 2-0 in the last 16.

"For me, talents are those who do things that have nothing to do with their life experience," Tabarez says.

"Diego Maradona, Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and James Rodriguez - they do things because they have a certain gift which makes them special."

What's the greatest World Cup goal - and why?

Geoff Naylor:, external The best goal scored in a world cup is Maradona's 2nd against England. And It came after he'd scored the most scandalous goal.

H Miah:, external Maradona solo vs England 86 is the greatest goal. Running with ball at pace, touch, technique, control & finish. Magnifico!

"Let the Suarez thing go," tweets John McEnerney., external John, you may want to skip this entry.

Uruguay captain Diego Lugano says Suarez's four-month ban for biting is an act of "barbarity" that breaches the player's human rights.

"It's a breach of human rights that a player cannot go into a stadium where there are 80,000 people or into a hotel with his team-mates, that he cannot work for four months," the defender said.

"He has committed a crime, but this (ban) is barbarity. Not even a criminal would receive this penalty."

Graham Taylor, who managed England between 1990 and 1993, thinks that youth coaching is not valued highly enough in this country.

He tells Sportsweek: "If you go to Holland, the young players have first-class pitches and changing facilities. At grass-roots level, you have to make sure these things are top class.

"It can be difficult for people who want to become coaches. The cost to take the courses and go all the way through is thousands of pounds. I know what it's cost my son-in-law. A number of people can't afford it."

Former England manager Steve McClaren believes that England will only get better when coaching improves.

He tells BBC Radio 5 live's Sportsweek: "Our players weren't good enough to progress and haven't been for many years. We need to make better players, and you do that through coaching - not at the top level, but with youngsters at the age of eight, nine and 10.

"Our level of coaching has to be addressed. We went out of the World Cup because our game management was not good enough. Our players are not good enough technically and tactically."

But Bernstein has given his backing to England manager Roy Hodgson despite their group-stage exit in Brazil.

"I think overall, he has done well. The build-up to the World Cup was good - we've had no funny issues. Clearly, the results were disappointing. Maybe we could and should have done better.

"But have we made the right decision to keep Roy? I think we have. The continuity we will get will be of benefit. I know the FA have been very focused on the Euros in 2016, which will be closer to home (in France), in slightly easier conditions, and when some of the good young players coming through will have a little more experience. I think he deserves another two-year run."

Former Football Association chairman David Bernstein believes government intervention is needed if England are to make an impact at future international tournaments - because the Premier League has too much influence and the game is not capable of self-reform.

He tells BBC Radio 5 live's Sportsweek: "The Premier League has £3bn to £4bn of income per year. The FA has £300m. It's outgunned considerably. The Premier League exercises a lot of influence through its financial power - too much influence. It's not balanced enough by an independent FA.

"Making change isn't easy. If we don't get this sorted, we'll have this conversation again in four years and eight years.

"My argument is not against the Premier League. It's a fantastic organisation. My issue is with the structure of the FA. It's out of date - it's stuck in the mid-20th century. But the FA's decision-making is influenced by the Premier League. Change won't happen through self-reform. If the government was interested, I'd like an Act of Parliament or a regulator to sort this out."

Former Liverpool director of football Damien Comolli was instrumental in bringing Luis Suarez to Liverpool from Ajax in 2011. He believes Liverpool will keep him, telling BBC Radio 5 live's Sportsweek:

"If I believe the reports in the press… I would definitely keep him. I'm not sure Liverpool are in control of the situation because if he's got a release clause in his contract, then the problem is out of their hands. But if they are in control, they will keep him. He played 33 games last season and scored 31 goals. Without that Liverpool would not have finished where they finished.

"Who do you replace him with? There is nobody like him around. If there was, Real Madrid and Barcelona would go after them and not Suarez."

Former England defender Rio Ferdinand would keep Luis Suarez at Liverpool if he were manager Brendan Rodgers.

Suarez has been given a four-month worldwide ban after biting defender Giorgio Chiellini during Uruguay's 1-0 World Cup Group D win over Italy last Tuesday.

Ferdinand writes in his Daily Mail column:, external "If I were the Liverpool manager there wouldn't be a moment's doubt about what to do next with Luis Suarez. I'd keep him. Leave aside, just for a moment, questions of morality or whether his ban is long enough and what is going on in his head to make him do these extraordinarily bad things.

"Purely and simply from a football perspective, what he does for you on the pitch - and I don't mean biting people - makes him indispensable. And with the season Liverpool have ahead of them, that's truer than ever.

"They had a brilliant 2013-14, pushing for the title when many people thought they might struggle to get into the top four. Although they didn't win it, they were superb, with Suarez the single most significant reason for that."
