PSG v Lyon moved to Monday, at the same time as the Ballon d’Or

Set for Sunday evening, the standout fixture of Ligue 1’s eighth round will be played on Monday evening at the Parc des Princes: under an order from the Paris police prefecture, which has banned the match from being staged on Sunday, the league confirmed the switch on Friday. Groups of PSG supporters are calling for a boycott after the change. The Ballon d’Or ceremony takes place at the same time. I have set out the new schedule and what it changes.

Bayern’s Friday ends in hospital: Kompany collapses after training

Vincent Kompany collapsed after Bayern Munich’s Friday training session and was taken to hospital: RMC Sport reports a faint after the session, without detail on his condition, and L’Équipe describes the same scene and his evacuation.

Saka: at least six weeks out, Everton on Saturday

Taken off ten minutes into Wednesday’s game in Munich, Bukayo Saka could be out for at least six weeks, and the club fear up to two months, according to the BBC. “When a player has to come off because of sharp pain, it is never a good sign,” Mikel Arteta had warned.

In the Conference League, AS Monaco saw off Freiburg 3-0: Paris Brunner then Lamine Camara, Ansu Fati in added time. Two wins from two, and on Sunday the visit of a Lille side level on points.

Manchester United: Fernandes v Carrick, with Bournemouth next

Taken apart at Como in the Champions League on Wednesday, United are living their crisis in public: Bruno Fernandes has pointed at “a decision of the staff” by Michael Carrick, the manager’s terse reply followed, and on Friday Carrick refused to rule out leaving his captain out.

Bournemouth, on three straight wins without conceding, arrive at Old Trafford on Sunday.

Lens: Ganiou operated on, Gradit back, UEFA investigating

Ismaëlo Ganiou, operated on his left knee on Friday morning after fresh discomfort in Thursday’s full training, will be out for several weeks; I went through the club’s statement. Jonathan Gradit has returned to full training hours before Paris FC visit on Saturday. Above all, UEFA has opened proceedings after the flares thrown by the Lens section in Bruges on Wednesday. “Either we complain and do nothing but cry, or we work with our core,” said Yannick Cahuzac in L’Équipe.
