Zlatan Ibrahimovic could make his long-awaited Paris Saint-Germain return in their top-of-the-table clash with Marseille on Sunday.
The Sweden captain was back in training in the build-up to this weekend s Ligue 1 clash and while a start is unlikely, it would not be a surprise to see coach Laurent Blanc use the talisman off the bench.
A heel injury has kept Ibrahimovic sidelined in recent weeks he last featured for the French champions in a 1-1 draw with Lyon in September.
But his potential return comes at a good time for PSG, who sit second, four points adrift of leaders Marseille.
No side in Ligue 1 has drawn more games this season than PSG who have had to share the points on six occasions but they will hope for all three when Marcelo Bielsa s men visit…
West Ham manager Sam Allardyce has refuted suggestions Stewart Downing blew his chance in the England team.
The midfielder made his first international appearance since 2012 as Roy Hodgson s men triumphed 3-1 over Scotland in Glasgow on Tuesday, but came off at the break following an anonymous first half.
However, Allardyce says Downing was carrying an injury and has backed the 30-year-old to enjoy further involvement with the national side.
He had an injury in the first half which restricted his movement, said Allardyce on Thursday. I watched the game and I didn t see him do anything wrong.
I know people have criticised his performance but I thought he did OK.
He certainly hasn t blown his chances of further international call-ups.

Market: Leicester win
Odds:
Looking to make it back-to-back victories over Newcastle after their thumping 5-0 victory back in September, Leicester will make the trip to St. James Park on New Year s Day.
Starting with the hosts, although a very eye-catching run of form entering December may have shocked many across the Premier League, Newcastle have started to slow down the pace. Hit with a 2-1 defeat against Everton in the North East, their first defeat on home soil since opening the opening weekend of the 2019/2020 campaign, Steve Bruce s side have lost three of their last four contests and they have shown some worrying issues at the back. Shipping six goals in their back-to-back defeats and losing their top-half status, Newcastle have recorded just a single t…
Danny Welbeck and Michael Owen fired 10-man Manchester United into the League Cup quarter-finals as their goals clinched a 2-0 win over Barnsley on Tuesday.
Welbeck put United ahead on six minutes before Owen doubled the holders advantage on the hour mark with his third goal of the season.
But United s passage into the last eight was made more difficult than it should have been when captain Gary Neville received his marching orders on 63 minutes for raking his studs down the shin of Adam Hammill.
United manager Sir Alex Ferguson wielded the axe in spectacular fashion following United s 2-0 defeat at Liverpool on Sunday.
He made 11 changes to his starting line-up and recalled Owen along with Neville, Wes Brown and Anderson.
Owen partnered Federico…
David Moyes and Declan Rice revelled in repaying West Ham supporters back after a difficult season as the Hammers reached the Europa Conference League last four on Thursday.

With West Ham battling relegation in the Premier League, sitting just four points above the bottom three, Moyes hailed the Hammers achievements in balancing European football and domestic challenges.
He told BT Sport: It is a brilliant achievement. To do it two years in a row is special, it real…

Infinity Ward’s Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare II is upon us, which means it’s time to dolphin dive. The sequel to 2019’s Modern Warfare reboot is out next month, October 28th, 2022, and weekend two of the multiplayer beta runs from September 22-26 for PlayStation, Xbox, and PC, allowing FPS fans to sink into new maps (Breenbergh Hotel), new modes (Knockout, Prisoner Rescue), old classics (Search & Destroy) and a new third-person playlist that introduces an entirely different perspective.

“Well, crap,” I mutter, as I begin to run. It’s far too late of course. My pursuers have seen me and are now riddling my backside with bullets as I try to duck and weave among the environmental cover that’s slowly deleting. And then I see it: my salvation. Around another player’s corpse is a Hack pick-up with a circle on it. I quickly slide into it and pick it up, cackling with glee as I transform into a giant ball and bounce away from the squad chasing me.
My laughter stops as I turn around and realize, to my horror, that every one of my pursuers has the Ball Hack as well. I continue to flee but I can hear the quiet thumps of their murderous bounces keeping pace with me.
