Following medical tests, Piero Hincapie has withdrawn from the Ecuador squad ahead of their friendly against the Netherlands.

If Madueke didn’t get a big injured I don’t think Saka and Rice would be leaving England camp….

🚨 Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka leave England camp for “medical assessment”. John Stones and Noni Madueke also return to clubs due to injury Aaron Ramsdale, Fikayo Tomori, Adam Wharton, Dominic Calvert-Lewin have left the camp too.

The FA say Wharton and Madueke returning to their clubs "with knocks picking up during the match" Rice and Saka will also return to Arsenal for medical assessment.

Noni Madueke is leaving Wembley with his left knee in a brace.

We all might be guessing Tottenham going down. But guess what? City might get deducted 50 points. They might go down instead. 👀

The settlement agreement applied incredibly lenient sanctions on the basis that Chelsea did not gain a sporting advantage and that the new owners self-reported the matter and fully complied with the investigation. I have written a thread previously that explains why these reasons are flawed and why Chelsea should have received much heavier sanctions (linked in the last post in this thread). However, the settlement now sets a precedent that, although not necessarily binding, will undoubtedly influence future disciplinary panels, including the one judging Man City’s 115/130 charges. The most powerful benefit to Man City from the Chelsea settlement is it sets a precedent for how a panel might view the seriousness of subversion through deception. The PL Board’s logic for its weak sanctions against Chelsea was that they could have simply moved the payments “on-book” and in doing so, not breached PSR. Therefore, in their minds, no sporting impact was achieved and serious sanctions should not apply. This logic implies that subversion of the rules (undertaking hidden actions that breach the rules and undermine the PL’s authority) is not in itself a serious violation worthy of heavy sanction - not unless it accompanies sporting impact. That means if Man City can lessen the severity of any PSR breach determined by the Panel, then they can leverage that precedent to weaken the sanctions applied…

I really hope this doesn’t happen this season. I would rather finish 2nd again than only win a league title because of this.
