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.
But that was their best spell of the game and Frederic Guilbert's 78th-minute effort, which was easily held by Kasper Schmeichel, was their only shot on target. Villa have lost all five games since beating Leicester in the EFL Cup semi-finals. They will need to improve drastically if they are to stay in the Premier League, especially as their next four games are against sides currently in the top six - Chelsea, Wolves, Liverpool and Manchester City.
If Eintracht do score, we think it may just be the one goal in this game. As well as Eintracht's low goalscoring record in recent weeks, Mainz have conceded exactly one goal in six of their last nine Bundesliga games.
Fortunately, there was one bright spark in the Norwich ranks and that was Todd Cantwell. His splendid second-half finish and all-round performance should have been enough to see the Gunners off and it would have done, had his team-mates allowed Tim Krul to do his job and not interfere. Did you know? Cantwell has scored in back-to-back league games for the very first time for Norwich; he had only scored in two of his previous 25 league appearances for the club before this.
But they are back to square one, having also lost at Newcastle last time out. They only managed two shots on target against West Ham, with neither Shane Long's header nor James Ward-Prowse's 20-yard shot really threatening Martin. Hasenhuttl - who had gone to a 4-4-2 formation in recent weeks - made a system change at half-time, bringing on midfielder Oriel Romeu for winger Nathan Redmond - and they were better afterwards, but still not good enough.
But he was also exposed to an altogether grittier version of the game from an equally early age, present while his father, during spells in charge of Havant Town and Newport Isle of Wight, would kick over tea cups and issue expletive-laden dressing-room dressing downs. I remember it kicking off and you dragging players, substituting them and having rows with referees," he recently told his dad. We used to watch Pompey, but we'd also go and watch non-league games," Tony Mount says.
Will that change the view of people in Europe? Probably not," said Klopp. HUGE IMPACT The Liverpool boss was without key defender Virgil van Dijk and his fellow Dutchman, midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum, for the 2-1 semi-final win over Mexico's Monterrey and says he will wait for late fitness tests on the pair.
Western United and Sydney FC will face each other in the upcoming match in the A League. Western United this season have the following results: 3W, 1D and 3L. Meanwhile Sydney FC have 5W, 0D and 1L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Away side will try to get to the three point in this match, since the host is in the lower part of the competition, having one of the weaker serie in the season. It will not be an easy task for the visits, since they have lost their previous league match and will be in tight position to win here. They need points, in order to get among the playoff teams, and will attack the home side here from the very start of the duel.
The home team goes to the game placed ninth in the league standings, with 33 points while PSG are third on 48 points. This is going to be the third meeting this season for these teams and each has won one of the last two. Marseille beat PSG 1-0 in an ill-tempered clash at the start of the season, a game that saw five red cards flashed.
Inter Milan want to sign Manchester United forward Alexis Sanchez on a permanent deal. The Chile striker, 31, has impressed during his loan spell in Italy and scored his third goal in eight games during Saturday’s 3-0 win at Genoa. Sanchez was involved again on Tuesday night as Inter maintained their push to finish second in Serie A with a 2-0 win over Napoli. Inter have not finished in Serie A's top three since 2011.
Let's not think how we are going to do it, let's rest and recover and then we can think about how we are going to play. For the moment it [the schedule] is absurd. There is no explanation, so all the decisions we make will be based on us. How are we to play football?"It is not only Wolves - it is all the teams. Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl also voiced his concerns about the top flight's hectic festive schedule following Saints' 1-1 draw at home to Crystal Palace on Saturday.

The hosts certainly carry a goal threat at home, averaging 2.13 goals per game, but they concede an average of 2.50 goals in their own backyard which is why we have backed Utrecht to claim a 3-1 win. Zwolle’s home games produce an average of 4.63 total goals while Utrecht’s away games produce an average of 3.22 total goals, and we have backed a total of four goals to be scored in Friday’s clash. Over 2.5 goals have been scored in all of Zwolle’s home games as well as in 67% of Utrecht’s away matches, while Both teams have scored in 75% of the hosts’ home games and 78% of the visitors’ matches on the road, all of which bodes well for our prediction for Friday’s head to head.
I like the odds for the home win to happen here as the hosts at the start of this season won 2-0 away from home at Sutton which recently has been quite poor in their away games for example losing at 6th league club Billericay in the cup with no less than 4-2, but also losing games in the league on the road, not that they are much better at home as they are a mere relegation candidate this season.
While they are far from out of the woods, the visitors enjoyed a pretty strong festive period and have put some distance between themselves and the relegation spot. However, things have taken a turn for the worst once more as they come into this match having lost four of their last five league matches. When you factor in their pretty ordinary record on the road, it could prove to be a long afternoon despite the relatively short trip.
The Manchester clubs get it right There is a danger of this simply encouraging the sort of brainless tribalism that none of us need at the moment, but it is worth noting that Manchester United and City have been pretty spot on in how they have dealt with the delicate business of their employees at this strange time.
What does the Premier League suspension mean for the season? Liverpool's title will be underwhelming enough, denying them it is churlish Riyad Mahrez has a French admirer - Euro Papers A sole Premier League is no longer the near-universally accepted measure of success as it once was. Manchester City's most recent title successes are framed around the astounding achievement of back-to-back 100 point seasons, an accomplishment and record that has dwarfed the actual accomplishment of winning the Premier League trophy itself, by all accounts an incredibly hard and incredibly impressive thing to do.
Is this worth more than two instinctive outbursts of raw emotion, even if these are in response to glorious failure? Changing the course of history Media playback is not supported on this device Leicester 3-1 Everton: Foxes lift the Premier League trophy It is, of course, possible to go beyond the immediate impact of losing the final nine games of a season and hypothesise alternate histories that further deprive the game of its glorious facets.
