Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior insists he still has the backing of the club’s board, despite growing fan protests and poor results.

The Blues have lost four consecutive Premier League games, leaving their Champions League hopes hanging by a thread – with the Blues currently 7 points off the qualifying spots.

Rosenior said this ahead of tomorrow morning’s crucial clash against Brighton.  

Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate says there is a “big chance” he will remain at Anfield next season, with talks over a new contract close to being finalised.

The French international was previously linked with a free transfer to Real Madrid, but that interest has cooled after a difficult campaign.  

Brazil legend Cafu believes this year's World Cup is the best chance for Brazil to reclaim the title, ending a 24‑year wait since their last triumph in 2002.  

He says the appointment of Carlo Ancelotti and a strong mix of experience and youth gives the five‑time champions the right balance to succeed in the tournament. 

The Badminton Association of Malaysia’s RM1.3 million centralised training camp in Denmark is vital to ensure a focused, distraction‑free build‑up for the Thomas and Uber Cup teams.

Datuk Lee Chong Wei said the 10‑day camp helps players bond, adapt to conditions and prepare mentally ahead of the Finals.  

The national performance committee director added that minimising officials on tour and trusting experienced coaches allows players to stay relaxed and perform at their best.
