Sources have told BBC Sport that because the Belgium international apologised, the matter is now regarded as closed. Lukaku is reported to have said: "We had a week off in December, we returned to work and I swear that 23 out of 25 players were ill. I am not kidding. We played against Radja Nainggolan's Cagliari and after about 25 minutes, one of our defenders [Milan Skriniar] had to leave the pitch.

Norwich had led after a fourth minute goal from Todd Cantwell and dominated for large stretches but were unable to add to their tally -- Kenny McLean hitting the bar in the 73rd minute. But Palace drew level when Wilfried Zaha slid a pass across the face of the goal to Wickham who slid the ball home, only to see the offside flag raised.
Erling Braut Haaland scored for Borussia Dortmund as they marked the return of the Bundesliga during the coronavirus outbreak with a convincing derby win over Schalke. The game will mostly be remembered for the surreal circumstances in which it was played, as Germany became the first major league in Europe to resume action behind closed doors. There was an eerie atmosphere at Dortmund's iconic Signal Iduna Park stadium, with every shout by players or coaches audible, and social distancing protocol followed by substitutes and during goal celebrations.

The Premier League match was postponed due to heavy rain and strong winds due to Storm Ciara hitting the United Kingdom on Sunday. City are still participating in all four cup competitions at the moment, with a Champions League tie against Real Madrid looming at the end of February, the Carabao Cup final at the start of March and a FA Cup fifth-round match a few days later.
The home team has reported that six of their players won’t be able to participate in the upcoming clash, and among them the most important ones are their top scorer Domenico Berardi, starting centre-back Gian Marco Ferrari and starting left-back Rogério. Without Berardi on the field, you should keep an eye on Francesco Caputo, another great forward in their squad, who netted a brace in their most recent win over Bologna, and in total scored 5 goals so far.
With their superior form and ability in front of goal, we’re backing Sydney to pick up the win this weekend. The visitors have won two of their three away games this season, averaging two goals a game in those fixtures and striker, Adam Le Fondre, already has five goals this campaign. Western United look a little lacking in confidence and, whilst they’ll need to pick up a result soon, we don’t think its coming here.
The three subsequent announcements over the tannoy cast a shadow over the final stages of the game - but there was no disguising Lampard's delight as he punched the air and threw his coat into Chelsea's celebrating supporters after the final whistle. This was a victory with an edge - and it is not difficult to guess why. There remains huge respect between Lampard and Mourinho after the successes they shared at Chelsea, including two Premier League titles.
Morocco are unbeaten in 16 matches in this competition. Morocco have scored 13 goals in five matches at this tournament. Mali have scored just three goals at this tournament.

United are vying to go seven games unbeaten against Chelsea for the first time this century. Manchester UnitedUnited are playing in their 30th FA Cup semi-final - a joint record with Arsenal. They could become the first side to reach the final on 21 occasions. The Red Devils have progressed from 15 of their past 17 FA Cup semi-finals, losing on penalties against Everton in 2009 and 0-1 against Manchester City in 2011.
The home team is not in the good form because they have three games in a row so far where they don't find the back of the net, they have drawn last away game against Octal fc which ended with 0-0 scoreline so I don't think they are going to beat the visitors. The visitors also are having six games since a win and they have lost last three away games in a row, they come to this game from a loss at their home which ended two nil in favor of Walter Ferret. These teams meet two times and the hosts never get a win, they have drawn one and lost one so I back a draw.
This is one match from Indian second league where I will bet on goals and that is more than ok and real for me. So, Mohun Bagan is interesting team who is in this moment, surely stronger than rival and I believe that they will again show that to us. In last few weeks, this team is won in almost all matches and in the same time, in last official duel against this rival, they are won very easy 3-0 as a guests. I believe in similar scenario and this time and I see 2-0 or 3-0 for Mohun Bagan.

As we all know, winning isn't everything. Virg. I am very proud to be in that bracket, to be in there for the way I performed with the team last year and also with the country," he said. It is just something to be proud of because not a lot of players go there and are up for these kind of things. There's going to be a winner but there are no losers.
It started off terribly for City, too, when Diego Costa put Atletico 2-0 up on aggregate, but after Raheem Sterling got one back before half-time, Sergio Aguero – who else – scored a second-half double to put City into the semi-finals for the first time since 2016.

It is the kind of thing we need to bring to the sport," he said. Weil said the FiH would also end the practice of watering the artificial pitches used for hockey as an environmental measure by 2024, even though he admitted that "some people say this will kill hockey". You play a World Cup in India and put tonnes of water on the field of play whilst next door they don't have water to drink, this is not something that can continue," he said.
I think draw is the best option for this game because Aston villa need to find the way to stop defeats especially now when they are playing versus direct opponent from relegation zone and especially because ford is in great shape and surely visitors are coming for one more victory tonight but even them knows that they must not lose in this game so I think they Will be pleased with a draw and 0 0 is not realistic but 1 1 seems like a very good option for someone who wants to try to predict the correct score at the end
Eastern Suburbs Brisbane and Redlands United will face to face in the 6th round in Heath Park. The teams follow each other in the table, both team collected the first victory on the last week and finally left the relegation zone. The teams' matches bring high score, especially the Redlands, which team conceded 8 and 9 goals in the previous games. The home team are favorites, they have got 4 pts after first 4 matchday, while the away team conceded the most goals and have the worst defense in the league. I see many negative thing for the team, but the home team received 4, the guests scored 6 times one week ago. Expect 4-5 goals.
He put his flag up and the referee was about to blow his whistle," Wilder added. Everyone in the ground stopped. Jonjo Shelvey even nonchalantly went up and took an opportunity. His body language said to me he had seen the linesman had put the flag up and he was going to be offside. I want to be talking about our first season back in the Premier League. I want to talk about trying to break down a team like Newcastle - to talk about football and not yet again VAR.
Sergio Aguero's hat-trick against Aston Villa on Sunday made history - his tally of 177 Premier League goals is the highest number scored by a foreign player.

Substitute Angel Correa put Atletico in front in the 58th minute, chasing down defender Alex Moreno and winning the ball back before rounding goalkeeper Joel Robles and passing into the net. Striker Alvaro Morata doubled Atletico's lead in the 84th minute by turning in a cross from Correa with a back-heeled finish to get a confidence-boosting goal after hitting the post in the first half and having a strike ruled out for offside.
Garbine Muguruza has won two Grand Slams so knows how to cope with the pressure of a big match. Her form was disappointing last year but she has shown some good signs of a major revival here. The last round saw her beat the fifth seed with only three games lost. Now she takes on ninth seeded Kiki Bertens who has had a smooth journey to the last sixteen. The Brisbane tourament wasn't too easy for her and she'll probably have to up her game here. Go for Garbine Muguruza to get the win here.
It almost became 3-0 when a Braga counter-attack sent Palhinha clear again and McGregor came to the rescue with a timely block. The importance of that save soon became apparent as Hagi gave the home side a lifeline when he cut inside from the right flank and powered a left-foot shot in off the post. Suddenly, Ibrox was jolted back to life. Substitute Aribo then had the place rocking to the rafters with a goal of wonderful skill, dancing past four challenges before calming slotting past Matheus.
But no. They’ve limped on to this point and, despite Barca being top of La Liga, Valverde has to go. For a little while, it looked like Mauricio Pochettino would be the replacement, but presumably then everyone remembered that he has always said the two teams he could never now manage are Barcelona and Arsenal, and once said he would rather work on a farm in Argentina than work for them.
Brno to face Dukla Praha at home, The last match of the 19th round, the hosts are sitting in 2nd place and have to win to keep up with the 1st place Pardubice who just won today by 5 x 0 at home against Usti Nad Labem.

Laporte gives City a chance of winning Champions League Aymeric Laporte helped Manchester City win a domesic treble last season and in January Guardiola described him as the "best left-sided central defender in the world".

The festive-period figure of 74 over 13 days also accounts for injuries requiring less than 10 days of recovery. Newcastle were in a league of their own in clocking up nine injuries over Christmas and managed to lose five players in a single defeat by Leicester on Boxing Day. Manager Steve Bruce now has just one of his six central defenders available for Saturday's FA Cup third-round tie at Rochdale.
In Reading's 3-1 win at Wigan, George Puscas became the first Royals player to score an away league hat-trick since Craig Maskell in March 1992 against Darlington. However, even after that treble, they lack consistent scorers. Puscas has scored twice as many league goals as any other Reading player this season (6).
Sociedad's Sweden forward Alexander Isak inspired an incredible attacking display, scoring twice in the second period to put the Basque side 3-0 up after Martin Odegaard, who is on loan from Madrid, had given the visitors a first-half lead. Madrid defender Marcelo quickly pulled a goal back to make it 3-1, moments after receiving a volley of boos from the home fans, but Sociedad soon restored a three-goal cushion when Isak teed up Mikel Merino for a simple tap-in.
Palace's afternoon almost went from bad to worse Joel Ward was shown a straight red card for a rash challenge with less than 20 minutes to play, before referee Andy Madley referred to the pitchside monitor to downgrade the punishment to a yellow. Despite dominating possession, Palace attackers Wilfried Zaha and Christian Benteke failed to create chances in the second half.
football from the Argentine league where the teams from San Martin Burzaco and Lamadrid will meet and I think it will be a close and balanced game and therefore I bet on a draw because most of the matches between these two often end in a draw. San Martin Burzaco is my favorite here in this game. The last few weeks were not easy, they have been without a win for four games in a row. But against General Lamadrid I can already see them in front. Qualitatively and also in terms of home advantage, I expect at least a point.

Welcome back Steve, have a 2-0 defeat Steve Bruce’s time at Aston Villa wasn’t the happiest, for various reasons, and he’ll be even more sick of the sight of the place after his Newcastle team were beaten there on Monday night. A couple of well-worked free-kicks were Newcastle’s undoing, Conor Hourihane scoring directly from one and Anwar El-Ghazi benefitting from the other to seal Villa’s first win in a little while.
