Leicester: The Impossible Team is a BBC Radio 5 live sport special that will be broadcast later on Wednesday from 19:30 GMT. Foxes midfielder Andy King will describe the journey the club have been on and Marcello Lippi, Italy's World Cup-winning coach, will give us the insight on boss Claudio Ranieri. Martin O'Neill, Tony Pulis, captain Wes Morgan, Gary Lineker and the Hollywood film producer who is planning to make Jamie Vardy: The Movie will also give their thoughts on the team that stands on the threshold of the Premier League title...

Bastian Schweinsteiger has injured a knee while training with Germany in what is the latest blow for the Manchester United midfielder, who has struggled with his fitness throughout the season. A statement from the DFB, the German governing body, said: “World Cup winner Schweinsteiger sustained the injury to his right knee on Tuesday afternoon toward the end of the training session. For further examinations the captain will undergo a MRI scan in Munich with national team doctor Hans-Wilhelm Müller-Wohlfahrt.”

Norwich have confirmed Dieumerci Mbokani was at Zaventem Airport in Brussels at the time of yesterday's terror attacks.

This seems like it could bring some bad juju. I'd rather them wait until after the season for something like this. Doing a film about how you're so close to winning the title with the season still going feels like a set up for an epic fail. :/

It's just a radio programme.

This picture from BBC shows Leicester's bench for their play off defeat by Watford a few years ago (yes, *that* one where Deeney scored from a Leicester penalty miss). Danny Drinkwater, Jamie Vardy and Harry Kane all substitutes for the Foxes that day

Tbf hindsight is a wonderful thing.

West Ham have increased the match day capacity at the former Olympic Stadium to 60,000 in response to spectator demand. The Hammers are due to leave Upton Park at the end of this season and will play at the stadium in Stratford from the start of the 2016-17 season. The original capacity was set to be 54,000 but after the number of people registered on the Hammers season ticket priority list exceeded the number of seats originally available at the multi-use stadium, that has been increased by 6,000.

Here's a link to the Leicester radio programme, @Benji + @Meacon.

PSG being in for Sturridge to replace Ibra feels like the most clickbait headline of all time.

I would like to think that under Klopp there won't be a massive summer of transfers at Liverpool.

Guardian are reporting it on their rumour page, probably quoting somewhere else.

Its on The Sun as well, so BBC tell me. Still sounds like bollocks. More so.

Six years porridge for Johnson.

[therockbox]

Didn't expect that, thought he was too good to go down.

[MDK]

And he had animal porn on his laptop. This guy is a class act all round.

It can now be reported police found extreme pornography involving animals on Johnson's laptop.

 

[Lineker]
