Arsenal will return to Premier League action with a much-depleted squad after they were hit hardest by injuries during the dreaded international break. There are several reasons why most football fans dislike international breaks - especially when they last three weeks - but chief among them is the fact they regularly leave their club's best players injured. It is usually the league's top teams that are most affected because they have so many high-quality players at international level. And it is no different this time.

Ireland manager Heimir Hallgrimsson was forced to end his press conference early after his players were accused of using a racist term by an Israeli journalist one day before the two nations are set to meet again in Nations League action. The first Ireland-Israel tie earlier this week became football's most politically charged match amid calls for the Republic to boycott the fixture due to the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict. While the fixture went ahead‚ Ireland's players voted to wear black armbands to honour civilian lives lost in the conflict‚ lower their heads during the Israeli national anthem‚ and fail to exchange pennants as is custom during international ties.

City have been found guilty of the vast majority of their 115 charges‚ many of which allege City cooked the books to the tune of nearly £900million through money artificially pumped into the club by their Abu Dhabi owners over a nine-year period. An appeal was confirmed by the club on Friday‚ with much of their defence suggesting commercial contracts were paid for by the Abu Dhabi government rather than their owner. Now‚ though‚ it has emerged that sponsors Etihad‚ the state-owner national airline of the United Arab Emirates‚ told the United States' department of commerce‚ transportation and state in 2015 that suggestions the government have paid for sponsorships are 'false'.

OLIVER HOLT: Lionel Messi will make his final appearance for Argentina in Buenos Aires next week. The match‚ a friendly against Benin‚ has been dubbed 'The Last Tango'. It has been scripted for him. It is an opportunity for a nation to pay homage to one of the greatest players who has ever lived. Whether Cristiano Ronaldo is ever afforded the same kind of farewell from the international game he has graced for 23 years remains to be seen. If Messi seems at peace with his decision and aware of the limitations age has foisted upon him‚ Ronaldo is raging and raging against the dying of the light. It was hard not to feel sad at the sight of Ronaldo‚ who is 41 and had started the country's previous game against Wales‚ walking out of the Portugal camp after manager Jorge Jesus chose not to bring him off the bench in the team's Nations League victory over Norway in Oslo on Sunday. It was the first time in 18 years that Ronaldo had been an unused substitute for his country.
