Newcastle United head coach Steve McClaren has confirmed that Cheick Tiote has been left out of their tour of the United States after he was refused a visa.

Gomez sustained a knee injury during a training session with England last week and will miss a significant part of 2020-21 after undergoing surgery.

Fellow centre-back Virgil van Dijk is out for the rest of the season, meanwhile, and makeshift defender Fabinho has also recently had a spell on the sidelines.
From the 52 matches Gomez and Van Dijk have played in together, Liverpool s win percentage is 76.9, compared to 74.5 from the 47 in which one or both has not been…
A binding ruling in the Super League case will be handed down on December 21.
The Grand Chamber of the European Court of Justice will rule that morning on whether or not UEFA and FIFA acted lawfully in blocking the creation of the Super League in April 2021, and in seeking to sanction the clubs involved.
The ruling is a binding interpretation of European Union law, and once handed down the case will then be referred back to the Madrid commercial court that will apply it to the facts of the Super League case.
Bernd Reichart, the chief executive of A22 which is promoting the concept of a new European league, said: “Club football is on the eve of major change. We hope the European Court of Justice will end the monopoly of UEFA and enforce the fundamental freedoms …
It’s only fitting that the first Detroit Lions home playoff game since 1994 features Matthew Stafford.
However, Stafford will be wearing a visitors jersey as he leads the Los Angeles Rams into battle vs. Jared Goff and Co.
