Son decision: Tottenham forward Son Heung-min faces an anxious wait to find out if his club will grant his wish to play at the Olympic Games this summer. Son is eager to represent South Korea in Rio and is one of his country’s star players but participation would seriously curtail his contribution for Spurs at the start of next season. “We’re still waiting for the decision so I can’t say anything,” Son said. “It’s a very nice tournament and competition, and every player wants to go to play there.”

Cavani: Edinson Cavani has joined Paris St Germain’s injury list ahead of today’s Ligue 1 clash with Bordeaux.

He joins midfielders Marco Verratti and Blaise Matuidi on the sidelines.

Oyston: Blackpool chairman Karl Oyston has won £30,000 libel damages from an abusive fan. Oyston brought proceedings against Stephen Reed over material posted on a website called Back Henry Street, which is used by followers of the club, in June 2015.

Kone: Sunderland defender Lamine Kone is fit for tonight’s potentially decisive Premier League clash with Everton.
