Instead, what has followed is one of the more intriguing selection puzzles at Craven Cottage this season. The pillar of Fulham’s defence…

Spanish giants Barcelona confirmed their withdrawal from the failed breakaway European Super League project on Saturday, leaving Real Madrid as the only club still involved. “Barcelona hereby announces that today it has formally notified the European Super League Company and the clubs involved of its withdrawal from the European Super League project,” said the Catalans in a statement.
