Confirmation from France manager that Hugo Ekitike will miss the World Cup due to a “serious” Achilles injury. "His disappointment is immense. Hugo will regain his top form, I'm convinced of it. But I wanted to express all my support to him, as well as that of the entire staff. We know he'll be fully behind the France team, and we're all thinking of him very strongly." nytimes.com/athletic/71982…

Remembering the 97 on the 37th anniversary of the Hillsborough tragedy. ❤️

At 3.06pm, the time at which the match in 1989 was halted, the club observed a period of silence in honour of the 97. Ninety-seven biodegradable balloons were subsequently released from the centre-circle at Anfield in a poignant act of remembrance.

All of our information is that FSG, the ownership, the sporting hierarchy at Liverpool, they intend to stick with Arne Slot. Even if there's no Champions League football, that's the intention. [@David_Ornstein] ✍️
