Premier League clubs have major concerns that plans to expand the Champions League will lead to “unfeasible” fixture congestion, and the potential for European matches to be staged on the same day as top-flight domestic games. Up until now, there has been an agreement with UEFA that there should be no clash between Champions League matches and Premier League games, with the weekend protected for domestic fixtures. But Sky Sports News has been told there are widespread concerns that UEFA’s plans will be unworkable, and may lead to European and domestic games going head to head – especially if proposals are pushed through for 10 Champions League group matches per team from 2024 instead of the six matches currently played. UEFA has already committed to expanding the Champions League from 32 teams to 36 from 2024. That was voted through without fanfare at their executive committee meeting last month. We understand the Premier League is currently lobbying UEFA for only two extra match

Brigette Lacquette is a modern-day hockey renaissance woman. She seamlessly slips back and forth from NHL scout, to Team Canada hockey player, to grassroots ambassador for the sport. What makes the duelling roles so remarkable is that there was no blueprint for what she’s managing to juggle. Brigette is the first Indigenous woman to play for the Canadian women’s Olympic hockey team and has recently become the first Indigenous woman to scout for an NHL team, when the Chicago Blackhawks brought her on board. Now, corporate sponsors have started to take notice of her influence in the game. Kruger Big Assist has partnered with her based off of the strength of her previous work in minor hockey. The partnership entails a commitment of $400,000 to minor hockey associations in Canada and an exclusive $50,000 grant program to help change the narrative around who belongs in the sport. Although she’s working to provide resources to extend the type of hockey opportunities others lovingly helpw

TORONTO – It may not be on the level of Bobby Baun scoring on a broken leg or Michael Jordan spitting on the pizza, but William Nylander skated through some newly revealed adversity during the Toronto Maple Leafs ’ 5-0 Game 1 beatdown of the Tampa Bay Lightning . For Monday’s pre-game lunch, Nylander consumed some bad sushi from a restaurant he hadn’t been to in a long time and was puking before puck drop. He persevered — and looked to be flying out there — but skipped Tuesday’s practice to rest. The winger feels “way better” now, but was unable to keep food or fluids in his system Monday and ran out of gas in the second half of the game. “I mean, it’s Game 1 — you’ve got to be ready. Can’t let the poison get to you. But it is what it is,” Nylander said. “We battled through as a team and played good.” Teammate Jake Muzzin has played through food poisoning himself in the past. “You gotta do it. Doesn’t matter,” Muzzin said. “You don’t feel 100 per cent. You’re not sleeping the b

With the automatic promotion places wrapped up, the battle to secure a place in the Sky Bet Championship play-offs will continue until the final day of the season. Runaway leaders Fulham secured promotion to the Premier League at the first time of asking after a 3-0 win over Preston on April 19 and then lifted the title after a crushing 7-0 win over play-off chasing Luton on May 2. They were then joined by Bournemouth on May 3, after Scott Parker’s side scored a late goal to sink Nottingham Forest and make their six-point cushion inside the top two unassailable with one game to spare. And with the relegation places having been settled for weeks now, too, that leaves just the remaining four places in the top six up for grabs. But with Huddersfield having secured one and Forest another, there are two berths remaining, with Sheffield United, Luton, Middlesbrough and Millwall left to contest them. Just three points separate the fifth-placed Blades from the eighth-placed Lions. Here,

Blue Jays assistant hitting coach Hunter Mense joins Blair and Barker to discuss how Bo Bichette’s and others’ offensive stats haven’t really done them justice so far this season, and the importance on focusing on the positives of each AB, to get out of their funks.

EDMONTON — We thought we were past this. But then you realize that the Edmonton Oilers have lost seven consecutive playoff games — going back to the 2020 bubble — and it becomes clear. They’re not out if this at all. They’re right in the middle of it, that phobia that strikes a team that has figured out how to win between October and April, but has not a clue what to do come May. We — media, fans, observers, even the players and coaches — are like the kids in the backseat on that summer trip to the Okanagan, as the Oilers make their never-ending journey from rebuilders to playoff contenders. We twiddle our thumbs, and blurt out intermittently, “Are we THERE yet?” “I think you want your team to play with emotion. You want controlled emotions,” begins Jay Woodcroft, the latest in a long line of dads behind the wheel of this 1978, wood-panelled station wagon. “We gave up a chance 11 seconds into the game off just a kind of a broken play, broken coverage. And then we found oursel

The sale of Chelsea has been thrown into doubt over disagreements about what will happen to the £2.5billion the club is expected to be sold for. The consortium led by US businessman Todd Boehly is the preferred bidder to buy Chelsea, but the UK government will not allow the sale to go through unless it is completely certain Roman Abramovich will not receive any of the proceeds. Two months ago Abramovich put Chelsea up for sale and said he would not be asking for his loans to the club to be repaid and all the proceeds would go to a charitable foundation for “all the victims of the war in Ukraine”. Abramovich was sanctioned by the government on March 10, preventing him from doing any business in the UK. But the sale of Chelsea is being conducted by the Raine Group, an investment bank appointed by Abramovich, and he will have the final say on who buys the club. The government is aware of attempts to restructure any potential deal in a way which could see Abramovich receive the £1.5b
