Injury Round-Up
Spain have worries over their captain Sergio Busquets after the 32 year old Barcelona midfielder tested positive for covid with just 8 days to go until they open their Euro 2020 campaign. Spain have pulled out of their final warm-up friendly against Lithuania as a precaution and the Spanish Under-21s will take them on instead.

Stephen Robinson has taken charge of Morecambe. The 46 year old, who was previously manager of Motherwell, is succeeding Derek Adams, who quit to take charge of Bradford City.
Dundee United have appointed Thomas Court as their new manager to replace Micky Mellon. Court was head of tactical performance at the club, whatever that is.
Disciplinary Charges
Citeh Get Clean Sweep
Manchester City have picked up a clean sweep of the main awards in the Premier League as Pep Guardiola wins the manager of the season award, Ruben Dias the player of the season and Phil Foden the young player of the season. Tottenham Hotspur's Erik Lamela won goal of the season for his rabona in the derby defeat to Arsenal in March. In the Professional Footballers' Association awards, Man City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne won the player of the year award and Phil Foden won the young player in that voting as well.
Russian Ire At Ukraine Kit
Russia have hit out at the Euro 2020 Ukraine kit as it features a map of the Ukraine on the front which includes the Crimean peninsula, which Russia annexed in 2014, though the international community have not accepted the annexation. Russia have hit out at the kit, one MP calling it a "political provocation". Though I would suggest it is not as provocative as invading and annexing someone else's territory.
