We’re up in Leicester for today’s game, where so many England women’s ODIs have been hosted over the years. Mild day, 20 degrees, says the weather readout. goldparty.lat

Interesting! Alice Capsey will keep wicket, which some people (me) were keen to see during the World Cup, given how Amy Jones kept whacking the ball to catchers in the ring. Jones is rested, as are Sciver-Brunt and Danni Wyatt-Hodge, while Heather Knight has retired. Plenty of change, some chances for fringe players. For Ireland, the promising young Alice Tector gets a chance to open the batting.

Aaron Donald's absence from Monday's practice "part of the plan all along"

Aaron Donald officially came out of retirement and practiced with the Rams on Sunday, but the three-time defensive player of the year was not on the field with the team on Monday.

Rams head coach Sean McVay said that Donald's absence had nothing to do with anything that happened during his first practice with the team. McVay said it was "part of the plan all along" for the defensive tackle and that the team will see where that plan takes them as they move toward their Week 1 game against the 49ers in Melbourne.

"I wouldn't rule anything out yet," McVay said, via the team's website. "Sometimes when you put unnecessary parameters or guidelines on something, you can skew things. But what I think what's really good for us is if he's able to go, great, if not, that's kind of how we've been operating as is, and guys have done an excellent job of being able to do some really cool stuff in the meantime. So, if he's not ready, and that's not what's best for him and for the team, (we) absolutely wouldn't have him play in Australia."

Donald's participation as well as that of defensive end Myles Garrett will continue to be closely monitored as the football world waits to find out when we'll see the duo on the field at the same time.

Despiste de Adeyemi: salió a entrenar en chanclas

Karim Adeyemi (25 años) dejó una imagen curiosa tras el duelo contra el Rayo Vallecano. En las últimas temporadas es habitual que los suplentes y los jugadores con menos minutos se queden en el terreno de juego para hacer algunos ejercicios, para compensar esfuerzos y carga. El delantero alemán era uno de los jugadores que ayer tuvo que hacer este trabajo extra, pero saltó al campo en chanclas, tal y como captaron las cámaras de DAZN.

Ruben Alte utlånt til dansk klubb

Sju uker etter at Viking hentet tilbake Ruben Alte fra Sandefjord er trønderen klar for en utlånsavtale til Viborg i dansk superliga.
Viborg har bare Nordsjælland foran seg på tabellen i Danmarks øverste divisjon. I bekreftelsen står det at Alte har kommet på lån ut sesongen, som varer fram til mai.
Videre opplyser Viborg at klubben har sikret seg en opsjon på å kjøpe Alte fri fra Viking-kontrakten.
26-åringen fra Namsos ble lånt ut til Sandefjord før sesongstart, men ble hentet tilbake igjen til klubben som eide ham i sommer.
Alte har også vært innom klubber som Steinkjer, Ranheim og Kristiansund.

Howie Roseman: Zach Ertz one of the greatest tight ends, but love what we have Word in early August was that tight end Zach Ertz has been cleared for all football activities after tearing his ACL last December, but the veteran remains a free agent with the start of the regular season a little over a week away.
