Liverpool appear to be 50-50 as to whether they’ll be lining up with season internationals or under-15s this weekend. Hopefully a few niggly injuries clear up… Skipper expected to sit out SundayNot what you need: another injury, this time the captain forced to miss out against the team currently occupying our spot at the top of the Premier League table. Jordan Henderson missed England’s midweek game and came home early, with his groin injury not expected to be hugely serious…but enough to keep him out at the weekend. That’s according to the Times, who say he’ll join Van Dijk and Gomez as absentees, while Trent is set for three more weeks out too. Thiago and Fabinho to be fit? Wijnaldum and Keita for midfield? At least two of them have been missing recently and Curtis Jones was a bit sore for the U21s too… Super SadioArsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has named our No. 10 as the pick of the players from the entirety of Africa, saying Sadio Mane is the player he, and other Africans, look up to. Talking to Stades, Aubameyang called Mane a “wild animal” on the pitch – we’re taking that as a positive due to his power and determination – and picked him out as the favourite of the entire Continent. “Sadio is the player of the Africans. He’s also the type of players every manager would like to have in their team. Like all African players in the Premier League, we tease each other, joke before and after each game. “Sadio, once kick off has taken place, he’s a wild animal. I have a lot of respect for him, because after what you see on social media and the news, he’s someone who’s done a lot for his native village”. Bizarrely, Auba also noted that despite being a Gabon international he loved watching Senegal play and do well due to another former Liverpool forward, one we like far less than Mane: El-Hadji Diouf.

Rangers players Jordan Jones and George Edmundson attended a party after a match in breach of Covid-19 guidelines. They have been suspended by the Scottish FA for seven matches each. Clearly there’s more than just football at play here, but is it harsh, fair or leniant? Should an example be set? Should this be a standard-bearer for all future disciplinary matters involving social matters such as racism? Tell us in the comments… Tweet of the dayThis close to perfection.
