Breaking News

1. Wayne Rooney and Nemanja Vidic are both major doubts for Manchester United's Champions League semi-final second leg against Barcelona after missing training on Monday. The pair both suffered injuries during Saturday's 2-1 Premier League defeat at Chelsea and have less than 36 to recover in time for Tuesday's game at Old Trafford. Vidic was left groggy and bloodied with a split lip after an accidental collision with Didier Drogba in the first half, while Rooney appeared to injure his hip in the act of scoring United's equaliser.


2. Frank Lampard returned to training with Chelsea on Sunday to lift his hopes of playing against Liverpool in the second leg of their Champions League clash at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night. Lampard missed Chelsea's 2-1 Barclays Premier League win over Manchester United on Saturday following the death of his mother Pat from pneumonia last Thursday. But the England midfielder is understood to have trained and is expected to be back with the rest of the squad on Monday.


3. Frank Rijkaard has admitted he believes Ronaldinho has played his last game for Barcelona and refused to commit his own future to the club. The Dutch coach was talking on Catalan television when he opened up about what lies ahead for the Brazilian superstar and for himself and he reverted away from his usual conservative style. When asked whether Ronaldinho would leave in the summer, he replied: "You would have to think so."


4. Brazilian star Kaka would relish the prospect of playing alongside international team-mate Ronaldinho at AC Milan next season. The Rossoneri appear to be in pole position to acquire the playmaker, who is widely thought to be on the move after just 13 appearances for Barcelona this term. He would add to a growing list of Brazilians already with the Serie A giants. And Kaka believes the influence of compatriots Dida, Cafu, Serginho, Digao, Alexandre Pato and Ronaldo would help Ronaldinho settle in no time at all.


5. McLaren's Heikki Kovalainen could return to action in time for the Turkish Grand Prix next weekend despite a horrifying crash in Barcelona that saw him airlifted to hospital. The Finn, who was leading the race after both Ferraris and team mate Lewis Hamilton had pitted, speared straight into the tyre wall at speed on the 22nd of 66 laps with the car penetrating the barrier. Circuit doctors attended to Kovalainen, who was extracted from the car before being taken away on a stretcher in a neck brace, while the safety car was deployed for the second time in the race.
