Deulofeu is heading for surgery after scans confirmed a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament and torn meniscus in the first half of Saturday's game against the league leaders.

Spurs' day could have been even worse as Giovani lo Celso should have been sent off for a dreadful second-half challenge on Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta. The video assistant referee decided against punishment, although officials in Stockley Park later admitted a mistake had been made and he should have been sent off. Mourinho's side gave themselves late hope when Erik Lamela's shot deflected in off Antonio Rudiger but in reality Spurs deserved nothing and Chelsea were worthy winners.

Yet the Gunners were short on confidence and ideas - while Mat Ryan produced a superb save at the end to frustrate the home side further. The Brighton keeper flung himself across his line to keep out substitute Gabriel Martinelli as Arsenal, who have home games against Manchester City, Chelsea and Manchester United on the horizon, failed to win for the 11th time in 15 top-flight attempts. The home side's night was summed up towards the end of the first half when Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang had a go at team-mate Joe Willock after a home move had broken down.

Do I want to lose a player in the pre-season? No, of course not. Nobody contacted us so far. It's an Olympic Games. I'm a sports person. We have to see how we can deal with it.

We hope Scotty will be back as soon as possible," Solskjaer added. Maybe Villa, maybe Spurs, hopefully for Sunday. The beauty we have with Paul is that he can play in so many roles. He can play in a (midfield) two, he can play in a three and he can play as a No. Jesse (Lingard) is also coming back to his best.
However, Tottenham are continuously playing in systems it looks like they don't understand. There is no identity as to what they are as a football club right now or what they want to be. I cannot remember the last time Tottenham played well. They have been getting results but I cannot see a system being put in place. Are they a team that is going to go long? Are they a team that will pass between the lines? Are they a team that plays out from the back? Are they a team that bases their game on possession? Are they a team that bases their game on playing out wide? I just don't know what they are.
In fact, the Dutch word 'degradatiespook' written across the 1984 classic film's iconic symbol means 'relegation ghost' - a saying used for teams that need to fear relegation. Den Haag were two points off the bottom of the Eredivisie when Pardew and Powell took over at the end of December. But after Sunday's 2-0 win over basement side RKC Waalwijk was the first league win since October - the side from The Hague are now five points above 18th and one from safety.
However, qualifying to play in the European Cup - when only the champion club of each country and the current European Cup holders were admitted - was far more difficult than qualifying for the Champions League, with its multiple entries from the more successful nations. For example, such was the dominance of Real Madrid in Spain that even Barcelona had competed in the European Cup only four times before they first won the trophy in 1992, yet Barca have qualified for the Champions League on all but three occasions since.
Marseille haven’t conceded more than a goal in their last 14 matches. Marseille are unbeaten in seven away matches. Saint Etienne have only won one of their last 5 games against Marseille Marseille have kept clean sheets in the last three away matches Saint Etienne have no clean sheet in nine of the last 10 Ligue 1 games
A lot I tried, I knew there was no chance - like top teams in Sweden or Major League Soccer, who would never take someone they'd never heard of. And it was too much money to fund myself to fly out to train with clubs. Along came El Paso, about to start out in the US second tier, playing "Championship to lower Premiership" level football and hosting regular home crowds of 6,000-7,000. The league is split into east and west, but El Paso's travelling distances for away games makes past trips to the likes of Kilmarnock pale in comparison.
Newcastle aren’t quite at the same level as their hosts on Saturday, but Steve Bruce has done a fantastic job in proving the many critics wrong since his appointment in the summer. The perennially struggling Magpies are 13th in the table and only five points behind Wolves, although the last few weeks have been tough for the visitors.
On many occasions this season Atletico have fielded a back four consisting entirely of new signings, and that lack of mutual familiarity has led to a notable vulnerability against set-pieces. Nine of their 17 goals conceded in La Liga (a figure that would be much higher without the routine brilliance of goalkeeper Jan Oblak) have come from dead ball situations. So Atletico can't score, they can't play the ball through midfield and they don't even look particularly secure at the back.
In terms of recent domestic form, Shrewsbury have been a bit up and down, even at home, but their results show that they're by no means an easy team to get the better of, as Bristol City discovered less than a fortnight ago. Sam Rickett's men have lost two of their last five at home, but neither of those losses were by more than a single goal, while they've only lost three out of 12 at home this term.
Akhmat could remain unbeaten here. There are two reasons for my pick. First reason is connect with the actual form. Somebody may argue because there was a winter break in Russia and just one round is played after, but I think the overall results are still very important for the players confidence. So, Akhmat have just one defeat on the last seven matches in the Premier League. I believe the atmosphere in the squad is positive, while the players confidence is high. On contrary, Lokomotiv Moscow have two defeats on the last three matches, with just one draw.
The 27-year-old Eriksen is out of contract in June and has not been in top form this season amid British media reports that he is set for a move to Serie A side Inter Milan before the transfer window closes at the end of the month. You have to ask the agent and Inter because they know more than me. If they're confident it's because they're ready to make us an offer, which didn't happen yet," Mourinho told reporters when asked about Eriksen's potential departure to Italy.

Ultimately, although Lyon's name carries more weight than Reims' and on paper they have the stronger squad, what we're seeing on the pitch tells an entirely different story.

It is also a measure of vindication for manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who has achieved a giant institution's minimum requirement of a return to the Champions League. There were celebrations, too, at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea's season of renewal under Frank Lampard ended with a place in the top four to satisfy owner Roman Abramovich's ambitions. As they beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-0, they were watched by an outstanding signing who will go into next season's Champions League campaign with them - Timo Werner, brought in for £54m from RB Leipzig.
This was a true relegation shoot-out: whoever lost between Luton and Manchester City would be relegated, and it looked like things were going City’s way until, with five minutes to go, substitute Antic popped up with a volley to save them. Luton aren’t a particularly glamourous or frankly exciting club with a glittering past, but this was arguably their most significant single goal, and their fans will mourn the passing of the man who scored it.
Belgium's Pro League on Thursday cancelled the remainder of the season, which has been suspended from last month because of the coronavirus pandemic.
