New dates: FA Cup replays could be scrapped and the fourth and fifth rounds moved to midweek to accommodate a winter break in England, Football League chief executive Shaun Harvey told BBC. Harvey said the move would allow more weekend games and generate income for increased solidarity payments from the Premier League to the Football League. “To create space for a winter break we are having to create some new dates in calendar,” he said.

Yaya Toure: Yaya Toure was part of Manchester City’s training session yesterday as they prepared for today’s Champions League clash with Celtic. The midfielder continues to be involved with first-team training after City boss Pep Guardiola last week said he would not pick him again unless he received an apology from the player’s agent Dimitri Seluk for comments he made in the media. Toure looked happy enough during the morning’s session at the City Football Academy, the first 15 minutes of which were open to the media.

Roberts: Wales U-21 defender Connor Roberts has signed a new three-year deal at Swansea City. Roberts is currently on loan at League One side Bristol Rovers until January.
