While he is benefiting from returning to training and is looking forward to a return to action, Keane understands the concerns of his fellow professionals, some of whom have voiced concerns at resuming.

There was little happening in a cagey and uneventful encounter until the sprightly midfielder curled in a glorious free-kick following Pedro Neto's foul on Marcos Alonso.

I catapulted him into the match, something I would not never usually do as new players must first have an idea of our system of football," said Conte.

They reckon he will be used immediately - maybe not against Eibar on Saturday - and see if that has worked and take it from there. Will he play much? Nobody knows. Balague says he will not be shipped off in the summer: "He'll be there next season. They still need another striker. Was he *that* bad for Middlesbrough? Martin Braithwaite played the first half of the Championship season with Middlesbrough in 2017-18 and 2018-19 - but finished both campaigns out on loan"His time at the Riverside will be remembered as a player who promised plenty, delivered rarely and frustrated an awful lot of fans," said BBC Tees reporter Robert Law, who covered Braithwaite during his time at Boro.
The hosts are second in the league but really should be bottom with Panionios on bottom place with just 6 points winning more points than Panetolikos, 12 total, but being deducted 6 points for their financial problems, while Panetolikos has just one win in the league and are with 8 points one of the main relegation candidates, and they did not play that well earlier this week in the cup as well at home against modest Panionios only drawing the game 0-0 in the end despite being favorites for the win.

Whittingham then moved to Blackburn Rovers, before leaving a year later. But it is with Cardiff the stylish left-footed playmaker is most closely associated.

Whittingham was a huge fans' favourite at Cardiff, scoring numerous spectacular long-range goals which helped earn him a place in the EFL's team of the decade for 2005-2015.
Kane: Unlike Dele Alli you do know what you're going to get from Tottenham striker Kane - total commitment, no sulking and a regular return of goals, and the England captain didn't disappoint against Brighton. What looked like a routine finish was anything but. The same was true when he saved the day for Tottenham at Carrow Road. Once Kane stepped up to take the penalty you knew Spurs were assured of a point.

Joe Lolley helped lift Nottingham Forest to within five points of the automatic promotion places after scoring twice as they came from behind to beat Luton Town. A fine low finish from Hatters forward Harry Cornick, who met Dan Potts' cross, gave the Championship's bottom side a deserved lead after they had piled early pressure on the high-flying hosts. Simon Sluga's failure to deal with a tame shot from Lolley, which squeezed in at the near post, allowed Forest back into the game, although the Croatian goalkeeper did atone when he saved well from a Joe Worrall header to ensure it remained all square at the break.
Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson lifted the Premier League trophy on the Kop at an empty Anfield to mark the club's first top-flight triumph for 30 years. Henderson received the trophy from Reds legend Sir Kenny Dalglish, who was manager when Liverpool last won it in 1990, during a spectacular ceremony after the champions beat Chelsea 5-3 on Wednesday. Liverpool were confirmed as champions of England on 25 June with seven games to spare when nearest rivals Manchester City lost at Chelsea, but they had to wait until their final home game of the season to be presented with the trophy.
Basaksehir are second in the table, only being edged off the top spot thanks to the superior goal difference of league leaders Trabzonspor.

Of course, everyone can see the special talents they are on the pitch but on a personal level they are also interesting, funny and confident.
After those games, Dortmund manager Lucien Favre called the striker "unstoppable" and said it was "fantastic as a coach to have a player like that". Haaland's form has continued in February, scoring twice against Union Berlin and a tap-in against Eintracht Frankfurt on Friday night. The former Red Bull Salzburg player has now scored 37 goals in 28 club games this season. He will return to Champions League action on Tuesday against Paris St-Germain having scored eight goals in the group stage for Salzburg.
It’s unrealistic right now. We have to try to win our games, secure Champions League for next season and then you never know, no? If they drop a couple of games, and we win and win … I don’t know. When one team lose one game in the last 53, 54, I’m not optimistic they are going to lose four or five in 10 or 11 games because they are incredibly strong.

And, as he begins his first coaching role with Derby, Rooney believes his experiences will set him up well for a future managerial career. It was a great experience for me in the States. It's so different to the football over here and it will benefit me in the long run," he said. I don't know too much myself about me as a coach. The manager has been great with me, I'm training with players and then having an input with the manager and other coaches off the training pitch.
And they were left seething on Saturday as they were outplayed by an injury-depleted Valencia side who won 2-0. Barca looked devoid of ideas other than passing the ball to Lionel Messi - a problem that cannot be said of their great rivals Real Madrid, who are finding ways to win games from unlikely sources.
Accrington Stanley may not be a side who will be up there with the sides challenging for the Championship but they will be concerned that their form so far this season has left them looking over their shoulders at the bottom four. The hosts are not exactly consistent and with just eight points earned from their eight matches, but there is one area where they can be counted on.
Troare skips past Winks, feeds Jimenez who releases Doherty on the right. He centres, it bounces off Gazzaniga and leaves Jota with the simplest of finishes. GOAL! Tottenham 2-3 Wolves (Jimenez): Oh my, Wolves have the lead for the first time and it's a goal worthy to win the game! Jota embarks on a lung-busting run as Spurs back off and then rolls it across to Jimenez who leaves Tanganga in his wake before burying it past Gazzaniga.
Heavy defeats by Barcelona, Paris St-Germain and Bayern Munich were meted out, while Rangers' reintroduction to Europe didn't as much go with a bang but a nuclear explosion. In the picturesque city of Luxembourg, they suffered what some claimed was the worst European defeat by any Scottish club - and that's some tag. Progres Niederkorn knocked Rangers out of Europe and left manager Pedro Caixinha in a hedge remonstrating with furious punters post match.
Before the defeat by Spain, he said he "will know if it is time to go" but in the aftermath insisted he "100% believed" in his abilities as a manager. The Football Association is expected to continue to back Neville and, even before the SheBelieves Cup, there was an understanding he would start to build a younger squad as part of his "two-year plan" with Euro 2021 in mind. I've got to start earning my coin, being a better manager - and the results need to improve," he said.
A penalty eight minutes from time made it 4-0. Sporting certainly aren't at their best when on their travels, that was their fourth defeat in five games. Home form is better though and the Peruvian side have just one loss in their last 14 league and cup games. It's tougher for them in this competition though with only one win in their last seven home games.
However, one of those defeats came at the hands of Fulham, who Harris was eager to describe as the favourites for this tie because of their more expensively assembled squad. There might have been a little mischief - an attempt at mind games perhaps - on Harris' behalf but to say the pressure was on Fulham was also a way of galvanising his own players, and of retaining the underdog tag they so often seem to relish.

Granit losing in its previous games will tighten itself up for this game and avoid any loss in this game. They will find it difficult with the home side since it is already playing from home. The two teams are both good and for Granite to keep its streak clean, it has to avoid a defeat in this game and make a tie at the end of the day or better still find a lucky winning goal against the home side in this match. The scores will be less than 2.5 probably and a correct score or either a 1-1 or 0-1 will make it for the day.

It's perhaps not a huge surprise then that their form prior to today had seen them win just two of their previous 13 matches and you could understand why BBC Radio Manchester reporter Phil Kinsella had a feeling Saturday's home game against Newport might prove to be a drab affair.

We never give up. The team is always there, that is my feeling," Guardiola told reporters. You (the media) analyse the result. Of course, it's not good for us. I know it doesn't count but I have to analyse the performance. The performance was good. City will have a chance to get back on track when they visit Burnley on Tuesday before rivals Manchester United head for the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.
