Reece James is having a scan on a potential hamstring injury. Shocking.

Do Chelsea even have a VC? Who could it realistically be? Silva? Sterling?

The redevelopment of Liverpool’s Anfield Road stand is facing further complications with the main contractor set to go into administration. Liverpool announced last month that their £80m stand was behind schedule and would not be fully open for the first home game of the season against Bournemouth on Saturday. The club has now been notified that Buckingham Group, the main contractors on the delayed project, has applied to enter administration.

Liverpool expect Buckingham to continue work on the planned phased opening of the stand, which will increase the capacity to 61,000, but it remains to be seen whether the contractor can meet the rearranged schedule completion date of October.

A club spokesperson said: “Buckingham Group has made us aware that it has filed for a notice of intention to appoint administrators. This filing does not impact the planned opening of the new Anfield Road stand’s lower tier on Saturday for the match against Bournemouth.

“Following the successful test events earlier this week, Liverpool City Council’s building control team issued a safety certificate to operate the lower tier of the Anfield Road stand and we look forward to welcoming supporters to Anfield for our first Premier League home game of the season against Bournemouth.

“We will work with Buckingham Group on the planned phased opening of the remainder of the new stand and will continue to keep supporters updated on arrangements for future games. Specifically, our intention is to update all supporters who have a ticket for Aston Villa match [on 3 September] at the earliest opportunity.”

Spread the injury layoff over 9 years. They'll be fine

Todd bought Buckingham Group and put them into administration, just for the bants.

Just to make us all feel extra old, Theo Walcott has announced his retirement. 

[Bobfoc]

I still think of Walcott as a promising youngster waiting to fulfil his potential.

[lanky316]

He'll show just how incredible a talent he is turning in to any day now. I'm sure of it.

Any idea why the Forest-Sheff Utd game got switched to tonight yet isn't televised?

Apparently it's because there is cricket on at Trent Bridge tomorrow, so it was moved to avoid a clash.

[Lineker]

Yeah I was gonna say - it must be a policing issue.

As a club who in the statement said 'they have a duty of care to Greenwood' bringing him back is the worst thing they can do for him. He will be ripped apart by rival fans it would be such a stupid thing to do on so many levels. But then again Arsenal keep playing Partey week in week out and hardly anyone seems to bat an eye-lid.

It's depressing that a club has made a list of people who may oppose what they want to do and call domestic abuse charities hostile.

So the decision making process is 'can we get away with it?' as opposed to 'is it right to bring him back?'.

About right.

Better not tell those hostile domestic violence organisations 

[therockbox]

The "duty of care to Mason" line is such a load of bollocks. You can take care of him without letting him play for you again.

Like most things football isn't actually a moral sport is it
