The entire team and coaching staff, along with the backroom staff, tested on Thursday for Covid-19," the statement added. FC Koln will not confirm any names out of respect for the privacy of those affected. Training can continue as planned, according to the hygiene and infection control measures that have been in place since 6 April in group training. The prerequisite for this is that the relevant group of people are tested further, as stated for in the medical concept of the 'Taskforce Sports Medicine/Special Game Operation' from the DFL.
André Villas-Boas' Marseille finished off 2019 in tremendous form with wins coming out their ears and confidence sky high. This club has had its troubles in recent years but it finally looks as if it's going in the right direction with Villas-Boas' effect on the team being extremely visible. They've won seven and drawn one of their last eight matches with wins coming against lofty opponents such as Lyon (2-1), Lille (2-1) and Bordeaux (3-1). They have also had their fair share of clashes with slightly weaker teams like Brest (2-1), Toulouse (2-0) and Nîmes (3-1) which should put them in good stead ahead of this trip to the mid-west of France.
A channel may be sold to broadcasters for the 2022-2025 seasons, in a step closer to a direct-to-consumer service. Such a move could dramatically increase the revenue earned by Premier League clubs. Paper Round’s view: Amazon showed that a multiplex service of Premier League games would have a broad appeal to viewers, though whether there is a sustainable appetite for such a thing is another matter.
Stuttgart will play against Arminia Bielefeld in the Germany 2.Bundesliga. Two teams face each other which as we can see in the last 5 matches played between them, the hosts have won three times and the guests won twice. But from their recent results we can see that twice have never scored two or more goals while three times have always scored two or more goals.
Newcastle come into this fixture off the back of a pleasing draw against the champions on Saturday. That result should leave the Magpies feeling confident, though a quick glance at their away form may negate such feelings.
B36 Torshavn will host HB Torshavn for this fixture of the league. Both teams have great results in this new campaign. Both teams are undefeated in this season. They have four consecutive victories. No doubt, both sides have the motivation to continue the winning track. Yeah, B36 have advantage at home stadium. Of course, the hosts will try to capitalize advantage on their pitch. However, this will not be an easy task. I expect, the visitors will try to provide a strong resistance. Also, HB will try to pick up the victory on the opposite stadium. My pick - HB to win.
Paderborn's opponents and fellow Bundesliga new-boys Union Berlin will also be confident going into Saturday's fixture. Union have been one of the Bundesliga's best teams in recent weeks. They have earned 12 points over their last six games. Only RB Leipzig and Borussia Monchengladbach have earned more points, in that time.

Ibrahimovic, who was a free agent after leaving Major League Soccer side LA Galaxy in November, said he received "more offers at 38 than when I was 20". I've been looking for one final rush of adrenaline to give it my all," he said as he marked his return to the Rossoneri. I received even more calls after the game against Atalanta [which Milan lost 5-0]. I didn't come here to be a Rossoneri mascot.
Tonbridge and Hungerford will face each other in the upcoming match in the National League South. Tonbridge this season have the following results: 7W, 7D and 12L. Meanwhile Hungerford have 6W, 3D and 20L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Kane wouldn't be denied, however, and he levelled the scores in the 53rd-minute, volleying home a rebound after Mat Ryan had made a good save initially. It was his eighth goal in just five Boxing Day appearances for Spurs. After a first half in which they were too pedestrian-like, Spurs were much improved after the restart and in the 72nd-minute Alli gave the hosts the lead after a fine team move involving substitute Christian Eriksen and Serge Aurier, guiding the ball past Ryan with a first time shot.
Leipzig have scored two goals or more in their last five matches and four of their last five matches have yielded over 2. They have scored 24 goals in the last five matches. In the Champions League, Leipzig have two straight wins, and one clean sheet in the last 10, while scoring on eight of the last 10.
Leverkusen have won four of their last six matches against Hertha and five of the pairs’ last six encounters have seen both teams score and over 2.5 goals. The hosts have won three of their last six matches in all competitions while the visitors have lost four of their last six matches in the Bundesliga, so you can see why we have backed a Leverkusen win this weekend.
It wasn't until Klopp made three changes on the hour mark that Liverpool started playing, and I'm sure Brighton - who are now absolutely safe from relegation by the way - will try to make things difficult again for them here. But the Reds always seem to win at Brighton - they have collected three points on each of their two visits here in the Premier League, so am going for another Liverpool win. Lawro's prediction: 0-2Joel's prediction: Liverpool have been absolutely brilliant but I still think they need to do more before they can compare with the great Arsenal teams under Arsene Wenger, like the double winners of 1998 or 'The Invincibles' of 2004.

Who I think could replace Neville Former USA head coach Jill Ellis won back-to-back World Cups in 2015 and 2019It's a strange decision not to part ways with Neville immediately. You have a manager who you know isn't going to lead you into a tournament and is effectively just in charge for friendlies. Does that come down to contracts and money? You need a manager who comes in now, watches WSL games and starts to build instead of waiting 14 months.
Everton are now roughly where they should be in the league -- if he is given some smart additions in the off-season window, Ancelotti might yet take Everton even further. CAN THE BLADES PUSH CHELSEA FOR FOURTH? Chris Wilder’s Sheffield United side, expected by many to be battling relegation on their return to the top flight after 12 years, find themselves in fifth place, just two points behind Chelsea.
Decent results from Lincoln lately and with 27 points they are 6 points away from the relegation zone at this moment while their last game was one of their best so far this season scoring no less than 5 goals at home against one of the promotion candidates in the league Ipswich and despite conceding 3 goals in a cracking game they won it with 5-3 in the end.
Silva's representatives have reportedly made contact and "held a series of talks" with the Florida club over a potential move. Paper Round's view: Signing David Silva would be a huge statement from David Beckham and Inter Miami. It's their first season in the MLS and they are clearly looking to make waves.
S. Iraq. U. S. President Donald Trump said no Americans were hurt, soothing fears that Soleimani’s death and the Iranian response could spark a wider conflict in the Middle East. Qatar will host the World Cup in 2022 and have several European clubs, including Bayern Munich, Club Brugge, PSV Eindhoven, Salzburg and Zenit St Petersburg, using their facilities this month for winter training camps.
For me football is an easy target sometimes," he told Sky Sports on Tuesday. It's unfair to call on any individual or footballers. I know players do a great amount of work in the community and players are doing a lot to help this situation. Discussions are taking place between players and clubs, what kind of contribution they'll make.
In the province of Lodi (Lombardy), the first to have been placed in total quarantine on February 23, the first positive signs are finally arriving. A breath of fresh air for everyone. Even though residents are still confined to their homes and people are being treated, there have been no new cases reported in the past two days.
While one option could be playing the tournament behind closed doors, removing the movement of supporters from the equation, that solution would remove one of the major benefits of hosting matches from the 12 host cities, leading to serious financial implications for all the host football associations.

Braga don’t need to win this game but they are still likely to put out a strong starting lineup to ensure they progress through to the knockout stage of a competition they are more than capable of winning this season. Pacos Ferreira average 1.00 points per home game which suggests that the most likely result for them this weekend is a draw, while Braga average 1.00 points per away game and would be happy to see the game end all square.

Les Capbourruts actually come into this match in rather poor form with the penalty win their only 'victory' in their last four matches. They have faced some difficult opponents like 7th placed Boulogne (0-0) and 5th placed Lyon Duchu00e8re (1-1) but really have been quite off the boil generally with their defeat to third bottom Le Puy (2-3) showcasing that.
Vardy: I often attack coaches who can't improve talented players but I am quite prepared to acknowledge those that can. Brendan Rodgers is, in my view, one of those coaches. The transformation in the performances of Jamie Vardy at Leicester City has been quite extraordinary. The centre-forward is no longer just a finisher. His all-round contribution to his team's performances are almost unrecognisable from the season when they won the title - but it has not affected his goal tally.
Pepe came out for a ball he wasn't going to get and made Barnes' goal easy," said Smith. One of my biggest regrets was how we gave the ball away so cheaply against a team who want the football. We've probably made more individual errors than anyone his season. Villa had a glorious chance to move out of the relegation zone with none of the five teams above them winning this weekend. They had a bright start at the King Power Stadium with Conor Hourihane and Mbwana Samatta going close to getting on the end of set-pieces.

Academica will host Penafiel for this fixture of the league. In my opinion, the hosts are favorites in this game. I believe, the hosts have better team than their opponent. Academica have an effective attack. Also, Academica is really better team at home. In any case, the hosts will try to capitalize advantage on their pitch. Also, we have Penafiel who's is more modest team in this league. The visitors have less potential. Also, Penafiel is not very good team away from home. So, I expect, the hosts to dominate on the home field. Visitors will pay attention on their defense. My pick - Academica to win.
The commission said it intends to publish a report into its findings. In November 2018 it emerged that PFA Charity accounts included 'staff costs' of £4m. But there was no further detail given about how that sum was broken down, and elsewhere in the accounts it is stated that "no salaries or wages have been paid during the year". In separate PFA general fund accounts for 2017-18, Taylor's remuneration totalled £2,020,393 making him the world's highest-paid union official.
Rangers head into the match as the clear form favourites, unbeaten in their last nine matches and winning their last six in all competitions, but Feyenoord’s form has improved of late and the hosts haven’t lost any of their last four games which include two wins and two draws. Rangers are yet to secure three points on the road in Group G, drawing 1-1 at Porto and losing 2-1 in Switzerland against Young Boys, while Feyenoord have picked up a 1-1 draw at home to Young Boys and beat Porto 2-0 in their other home game.
This is a top bet for me for today. Man City takes the last game with Sheffield and today they will try to take this first game for new year. City have not chance for the first place this year because Liverpool have 14 points more in the half of the season. Everton now playing better and I will think there will be not easy for City. That's why I will take this lines because I hope this two team's playing defense and City have a big problem with defense and last games they not scored too much goals in the league.
Home team really will not have any problems to win in this match from Ukraine Premier league and I will in any case try something like that. So, Shakhtar Donetsk is team who is absolutely the best in this country in last few years. Team is already new champion, again, because in this moment, they are have more than 10 points more than Dynamo Kiev - the biggest rival and that is clear. I see here very easy home win, because Lviv is poor team who is dangerous zone and team who will be fight for survival this season. Yes, over is ok.
However, even if they're not regularly getting hammered, Defending is certainly an issue for The Addicks, who're without a clean sheet in nine. They've conceded two or more in six of those nine. Bowyer's men have scored in six of their last nine, but they've only scored more than once twice. Therein lies the problem. They may not be a side that gets rolled over, but based on their defensive numbers, they're simply not doing enough going forward. And it's not just goals, Charlton are the worst team in the Championship when it comes to shots for.
Did you know? Mane became the 10th player to score in six consecutive Premier League appearances against a single opponent, and the second to do so for Liverpool after Salah against Bournemouth. Martial: Is it me or are Manchester United starting to look like a proper team again?You've got Pogba and Fernandes loading the pistols and Rashford, Greenwood and Anthony Martial up front firing the bullets.

33rd match day of the Spanish La Liga 2 championship where ponferradina will host Elche. the hosts are significantly lower ranked than Elche. but in General they are one of the best home teams with 8 draws and only one defeat. Elche has won only 7 of its 16 trips this season. On the 4 direct encounters, 2 of them ended in draw. Elche has taken 7 pts out of 9 in their last 3 games and can still grab a La Liga qualifying spot. Ponferradina has not lost 11 home games in a row but there are more draws than wins and the number is 6. This game is important for both and can end in a draw.
This, you would imagine, is exactly what Lukashenko wants people like me to take away from the experience of watching the Belarusian Premier League. It was a display of normality which millions of football followers are missing as the world continues to tackle this devastating pandemic. This familiarity worked its charm on me for two hours, and you get the impression the Belarusian Premier League will not follow the status quo any time soon.
We are shocked and disappointed," said Levinson. We will not give up our hard work for equal pay. We are confident in our case and steadfast in our commitment to ensuring that girls and women who play this sport will not be valued as lesser just because of their gender. Federal judge Gary Klausner allowed the players' case for unfair treatment in travel, housing and medical support to go to trial, which is set for 16 June in Los Angeles.
Today will be played most of the games from the new round at Estonian Esiliiga. This is 2nd level at Estonian soccer. Rivals at this game will be the teams of Flora II and Vaprus.

Bayern were hit by the sort of raw trauma that makes a mockery of the word ‘sport’, while a number of United players collapsed on the floor in a combination of exhaustion, exhilaration, confusion and gratitude. Giggs fell on his front and wept on a football field for the only time in his career. I’ve never known anything like the emotion that spilled out in that moment,” he said, “and I never will again.
There were also wins for Bristol City, Everton, Birmingham, Chelsea, Reading and Brighton as every WSL side taking on lower-league opposition avoided a cup upset.
