England boss Gareth Southgate hopes there is "significant change" after Valencia were sanctioned for the racist abuse of Real Madrid forward Vinicius Jr.

Gareth Southgate's news conference may have taken precedence this afternoon, but there are plenty of other events that have occurred today:

• Valencia intend to appeal the sanctions imposed upon them by the Spanish Federation, following the racist abuse suffered by Real Madrid winger Vinicius Jr on Sunday.
• Ruud van Nistelrooy has departed his role as Head Coach of PSV Einhoven, following a 'lack of support' from the club.
• Southampton will not be renewing the contract of interim boss Ruben Selles, as the Saints close in on appointing Swansea manager Russell Martin for the 2023/24 season.
• Chelsea have extended the contract of European Championship-winning midfielder Fran Kirby to 2024.
• Wolves manager Julen Lopetegui's position is under threat, due to financial difficulties at the club.
• Jordi Alba is set to leave Barcelona at the end of his contract, which will expire upon the conclusion of the 2022-23 season.
• Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag says he is hopeful that recently-injured forward Marcus Rashford will be available to play against Chelsea on Thursday evening.

England manager Gareth Southgate addressed multiple topics during his news conference this afternoon, after announcing his squad for the upcoming Euro 2024 qualifiers. Here are the main talking points:

• Eberechi Eze is called up to the England squad for the very first time.
• Raheem Sterling is left out of Southgate's squad, as he 'doesn't think he is operating at the level he needs'.
• Lewis Dunk returns to the international set-up after a five-year absence.

• Callum Wilson is also recalled, with goalkeeper Nick Pope missing out due to undergoing hand surgery.
• Southgate condemns the racist abuse Vinicius Jr received on Sunday, and hopes it prompts real change for the way in which incidents are dealt with in the future.

UFC welterweight champion Leon Edwards says his dream is to defend his world title at Villa Park in Birmingham.

Edwards grew up behind Aston Villa's home ground when he first moved to the UK from Jamaica and hopes to bring a UFC world-title fight night to the city for the first time.

Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Pablo Sanz and Nottingham Forest’s Alan Tate have been given one-match touchline bans and £6,000 fines for misconduct.

It was alleged that the assistant managers’ behaviour during the 52nd minute of their Premier League game on Saturday 1 April was improper and/or violent.

Pablo Sanz admitted that his behaviour was improper, and Alan Tate admitted that his behaviour was improper and/or violent.

An independent Regulatory Commission found these charges to be proven and imposed their sanctions following a hearing.

BBC Radio 5 Live

Jonas Baer-Hoffmann, general secretary of players’ group Fifpro, has been speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live about the racist abuse Vinicius Jr has received:

"It's been deeply, deeply frustrating to see the events of the last few months. How he has been singled out, the degree and quantity of the abuse. The lack of response in a really impactful manner just describes the problem that football still has.

"We look at this as a global organisation in many countries, on many continents and there is a structural problem that this sport has in tackling this effectively.

"He is right now an unbelievable target of abuse and it's frustrating that it takes him speaking up to this degree, him taking all this abuse for people to react in a manner that is now slowly starting. It feels that the response is more to the public attention than the crimes that are being committed."

Brazil's mainstream media expressed approval for the strong public support shown for Brazilian player Vinicius Jr by President Lula and his government after the Real Madrid winger suffered racist chants.

Leading newspaper O Globo reported that Lula - who had been quick to denounce the chants against Vinicius Jr while speaking on Sunday from Japan where he had attended a G7 summit - was seeking a direct telephone conversation with Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez to discuss the incident involving the player.

Brazilian media outlets reported prominently that Brazil's foreign ministry had spoken by phone on Monday to Spain's ambassador, Mar Fernandez-Palacios, to express a "diplomatic gesture of repudiation" over the "racist acts" against Vinicius Jr.

Already Brazil's Minister of State for Human Rights, Silvio Almeida, had sharply criticised the La Liga leadership, tweeting that "the posture of the Spanish authorities and of the entities that run the game is criminal".

"It shows undeniable connivance with racism," Almeida added.

Valencia added in their statement, in which they outlined their intention to appeal the sanctions lodged against them for the racist abuse Vinicius Jr suffered, why they felt the punishment was "unfair":

"We consider that penalising and depriving all the fans who were not involved in these unfortunate incidents from seeing their team is a totally disproportionate, unfair and unprecedented measure against which we will fight.

"The fight against racism requires the real commitment of all the parties involved without using it as a pretext to incur serious injustices.

"Valencia CF will appeal to the last instance the closure of the stand, a sanction that it considers totally unfair and one more offence in the latest disciplinary decisions that have been taken against the club. Valencia CF asks for the utmost respect and rigour for our institution and fans."

Valencia will appeal against their five-game partial stadium closure and 45,000 euros (£39,000) fine following the racist abuse suffered by Real Madrid forward Vinicius Jr.

The five-match closure of the Mestalla Stadium's south stand has been labelled "unfair and disproportionate" by the La Liga club, who reaffirmed their dedication to tackling racism in football.

In a statement, they said: "Valencia CF wishes to show its total disagreement and indignation at the unfair and disproportionate penalty imposed by the competition committee on the club with the closure of the stand for five games.

"Valencia CF wants to publicly denounce that in this resolution of the RFEFcompetition committee they show evidence that contradicts what the national police and La Liga say.

"In addition, this sanction is based on evidence that the club has not been able to see and without giving us a hearing.

"Valencia CF has condemned, condemns and will condemn in the most energetic way any act of racism or violence. These behaviours have no place in football or in society and we will continue to act in the most forceful way to eradicate this scourge.

"For this reason, Valencia CF is collaborating from the first minute with the police and all relevant authorities to clarify the events that occurred last Sunday.

"In addition, it has applied the maximum possible sanction with the expulsion for life from our stadium to the fans that the police have identified for their racist behaviour."

World governing body FIfa has extended its collaboration with the World Health Organisation in an effort to promote healthier lifestyles.

Whilst Fifa - and its president Gianni Infantino - are often criticised for misplaced directives, they - and the game - has a powerful voice, which WHO are keen to use.

"Health and football are perfect team-mates," said WHO director general Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.

"Promoting healthy lifestyles, safe stadiums and the mental and physical benefits of physical activity are among the many health goals WHO is proud to keep promoting with Fifa."

Chelsea

Frank Lampard on Chelsea's poor season: "When you are used to challenging, you have got to look at every reason for it and don't let them happen again.

"It is hard to switch it back on just like that. The Premier League is difficult; when you see the emergence of the Newcastles, the Brightons and the Aston Villas this season. It isn't my responsibility, but it'll be the test next year."

England manager Gareth Southgate was asked about Ivan Toney's suspension during his press conference this afternoon, after naming his squad for the upcoming Euro 2024 qualifiers.

He says that there needs to be 'structure' around the Brentford striker to ensure he 'develops himself' during the lengthy ban.

Frank Lampard on if this is the most uncertain time to be a manager: "Yes. You go into this job knowing that the manager gets blamed first. There are lots of other factors, but it is clear that it has become that situation.

"Many clubs are acting with expectations that may not be stable and we are in a reactive world anyway."

Crystal Palace playmaker Eberechi Eze has managed as many goal involvements in nine games in all competitions this season under Roy Hodgson (six goals, one assist) as he did in 30 appearances prior to his arrival (four goals, three assists).
