The Premier League leaders faced huge criticism in early April when owners Fenway Sports Group revealed they planned to take advantage of the coronavirus job retention scheme, which would see the United Kingdom government cover 80 per cent of wages up to £2,500 per month. There was a backlash from fans and former players given the club had announced pre-tax profits of £42million just six weeks earlier, leading them to reverse their decision and issue an apology through chief executive Peter Moore....

“In order to get a vaccine that’s practically deployable for people to use, it’s going to be at least a year to a year and a half at best,” Fauci told CNN New Day host John Berman. The number of cases of the new coronavirus continue to rise, and as of Wednesday, more than 81,000 people have become infected worldwide, according to a tracker maintained by Johns Hopkins University. As the number increases, so has the level of concern among the general public, making the natural next questions about preventive measures....

Germany captain Philipp Lahm has said the current corruption scandal rocking European football is damaging the game’s image with politicians here calling on FIFA boss Sepp Blatter to act.

Speaking during the democratic debate hosted by ABC and Univision at the Texas Southern University in Houston, the New Jersey Senator said the country needs to address the issues of racism across all sections of society while promising to deal with the “problem of white supremacy and hate crimes” if elected president in 2020. “We know Donald Trump’s a racist, but there’s no red badge of courage for calling him that,” Booker said....

22 of the players in the squad play in Argentina while striker Facundo Colidio is the only one playing abroad at Inter.

Here is the full squad (in brackets are the clubs they play for): Goalkeepers: Lautaro Morales (Lanus), Tomas Durso (Gimnasia)...

The slice of Anthem fun shown at E3 2017 may have been small, but what stood out were the clean, human-looking faces. An opening shot featured a middle-aged man; he boasted accurately textured skin with a barely-there five o’clock shadow, wrinkles, crow’s feet, and scars that all became more visible in the sun. His mouth, eyes, eyebrows, and jaw moved smoothly and realistically. His expressions mimicked real life. Things only got more impressive as the Anthem gameplay footage rolled on....

Today, I was planning on talking to you about collecting all the badges you can before Cataclysm, to take advantage of the conversion to gold and Justice points. Patch 4.0.1 has hit though and the changes have already taken place; there is no conversion advantage to you anymore because it has already been done. However… Justice points are now the new currency for World of Warcraft and there is a sale on Tier 10!...

Playing at Grace Road, the Jamaican was among three players with half-centuries as Kent amassed 406 after they were sent in by Leicestershire captain Ramnaresh Sarwan on Wednesday, reports CMC. Geraint Jones top scored with 67 and Matt Coles got 59, capitalising on a Leicestershire attack that struggled in windy conditions in the East Midlands. Nash faced 62 balls and struck six fours. At Lord’s, veteran West Indies batsman Shivnarine Chanderpaul had his second straight failure for Derbyshire, also on the opening day of their match against Middlesex....

One important question about what happened to her, however, has rarely been asked: Could it have been prevented? Whether violations of intimate privacy can be deterred is an essential question because the harm inflicted by nonconsensual pornography (often misleadingly referred to as “revenge porn”) is immediate and irreparable. Victims cannot get back the privacy they have lost or be truly compensated for the trauma, anxiety, reputational damage, loss of professional and educational opportunities, and physical endangerment they commonly face....

Only scoring 12 goals and 12 assists, he amassed 1,186 career penalty minutes and went toe-to-toe with the likes of Donald Brashear, Riley Cote and Brian McGrattan. “I’m honored to have the privilege of leading the Connecticut Whale,” said Orr in the NWHL’s press release announcing the hiring....

Specifically, the question of whether it’s necessary at all: Can’t a thing just be a thing? Does it need to be a bigger thing? If it’s a bigger thing, does that make it a better thing? MORE: McGregor’s most notorious moments | UFC’s best villains There’s no real correct answer; it was important for Green Day to release “Dookie” because that album, good as it was or was not, sparked something formative in a bunch of eight-year-olds and ultimately enriched their lives....

A leaked image from Sega Europe designer Chris Lewis’ website reveals the box art for the Xbox 360 version of Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing. The juicy part, because you asked, is on the back of the box showing off Rare’s famous duo Banjo and Kazooie! Lewis’ website, featuring the leaked Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing box-art has since been killed — so it must have hit a nerve....

Marcos Alonso scored his second goal with two minutes remaining in Sunday’s match at Wembley to give the Premier League champions a morale-boosting 2-1 triumph. Chelsea 13/2 with dabblebet to win the title Conte sprung a tactical surprise with David Luiz deployed as an extra man in midfield alongside N’Golo Kante and Bakayoko, who unexpectedly played the full 90 minutes despite being short of full fitness after a knee injury....

In a frantic opening at Wembley Stadium, Sanchez put Arsenal ahead in controversial fashion as, after his strike was initially ruled out by the linesman for an offside from Aaron Ramsey in the build-up, referee Taylor chose to overrule his assistant. This decision seemed correct, as Ramsey did not appear to have interfered with play. However, Sanchez did seem to handle the ball when charging down N’Golo Kante’s clearance....

The Nerazzurri had been leading going into the final five minutes at Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi but Miguel Veloso showed wonderful composure to seal a point for the hosts. Inter had forged ahead early in the second half thanks to an Antonio Candreva strike and own goal from Federico Dimarco after Darko Lazovic had given Verona a second-minute lead. It is the second time in five days Inter have thrown away a lead following their 2-1 defeat to Bologna on Sunday but Conte would not be drawn into criticising his side....

Conte paid Pochettino a visit when he was still in charge of Italy to discuss their football philosophies and to get an idea of what it is like to work in the Premier League. And the former Juventus coach has fond memories of his meeting with the Spurs boss. “My relationship with Pochettino is fantastic, it’s good,” Conte said at a news conference. “I see him as one of the best managers around in the game and I am still grateful that he gave me the chance to visit their training ground and to speak with him....

The Hammers paid Juventus an initial €5million for the striker in August and have to sign him permanently for a further €20m if he reaches a set number of Premier League appearances – reportedly 14. But the move has been disappointing, with Zaza having played only eight times in the top flight without scoring. Is Ibrahimovic truly world class? His agent claims he will return to Juve next month and Conte, who coached Zaza with Italy, understands the 25-year-old’s struggles....
