Liverpool have told Timo Werner’s representatives they need more time to decide on whether to make a formal offer for the Germany international as they wait to see what impact coronavirus will have on the next transfer window.
Werner is keen to leave this summer after four years at RB Leipzig and Liverpool are in pole position to sign the 24-year-old, having made clear their interest in him several months ago. Werner is keen for a new challenge abroad and has told Bayern Munich that a move to another Bundesliga club is not an option at the moment.

It is not hard to pinpoint the moment that inspired the Football Association’s development manager for diversity and inclusion in the women’s game, Rachel Pavlou, known affectionately in the game as Pav, to lead a life dedicated to women’s football: it was the day her playing career started and ended at the age of seven.
“I played in the playground with the boys, like most girls do at primary school, and the maths teacher came out and said: ‘I want you to come to the trials this afternoon. You’re brilliant, come and play,’” she says.

Tributes have been paid to one of Manchester City’s greatest players after the former striker and chairman Francis Lee died at the age of 79.
Lee became a legend at Maine Road, where he spent eight years as a player, joining City from home town club Bolton Wanderers in 1967 for a club-record £60,000. During his time at City, he won the First Division title in 1968, FA Cup, League Cup and European Cup Winners’ Cup, scoring 148 goals in 330 appearances.
After leaving City he won another league title with Derby in 1975, a spell which is also remembered for an on-pitch fight with the Leeds hard man Norman Hunter.
The footage, which was filmed by Match of the Day, is shared regularly across…
The Washington Spirit signed rookie defender Waniya Hudson to a one-year deal through the end of the 2024 season. Earlier this season, she was a training player with NJ/NY Gotham FC.

The Spirit (7-3-0, 21 points) are in third place in the league. Their next match is a home game Friday against the Seattle Reign. –Field Level Media …
Even the greatest NFL players eventually peak and begin that tumble back down the mountain. For some, the peak is long and luxurious; for others, that peak is short, and the fall comes after a couple years of prosperity. This list features players nearing the end of the road or those having held on a bit too long. Some call it long in the tooth; others call it over the hill. We’re calling this the All-Washed team for 2022. Indianapolis Colts QB Matt Ryan source: Getty Images This was a close race between Matt Ryan, Ryan Tannehill, and Baker Mayfield. We’re giving Mayfield one more chance to prove everyone wrong. Tannehill has rookie Malik Willis breathing down his neck, but at his best never reached the heights of former league MVP Ryan. As the Atlanta Falcons faded back into obs…
Well, stupid begets stupid. The Marlins have been selling the 9,100 unused tickets to Henderson Alvarez's walk-off no-hitter in the season finale. Dumb, but not unbearably so. Until they fucked up the date on the print-out tickets. Look, if you're going to sell shitty vanity PDFs—which is despicable and perverse and naturally the Marlins are doing this instead of sending real tickets—the least you can do is get the goddamn date right. It's the whole reason to spend $15 (plus fees) for one of these monstrosities. Here's a screenshot of the ticket they sent reader Steve, for the game Sunday, September 29, 2013: October 3rd is a Thursday, for anyone counting. In the interest of reader service, here's a PDF of a ticket with the correct date (all personal …

So we know who made up the class of 2013 at the Baseball Hall of Fame: no one. Well, OK, the veterans committee voted in Hank O'Day, Col. Jacob Ruppert, and Deacon White. But they all died in the 1930s; we wouldn't expect much in the way of induction speeches. But the Baseball Reliquary's Shrine of the Eternals, the next best thing, did induct a handful of new members. On this week's excerpt from Slate's Hang Up and Listen podcast, Stefan Fatsis runs down the incoming class (Manny Mota, a member, is pictured above) and its qualifications.
