No Israeli, Palestinian flags allowed at Wembley for England games — FA

LONDON: Flags and shirts showing support for victims of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict will not be allowed for England’s games against Australia and Italy at Wembley, the FA said on Thursday. England host Australia in a friendly on Friday before taking on Italy in a European Championship qualifier on Tuesday. “On Friday evening, we will remember the innocent victims of the devastating events in Israel and Palestine,” the FA said in a statement. “We will only permit flags, replica kits and other representations of nationality for the competing nations inside Wembley Stadium for the upcoming matches against Australia and Italy.” England and Australia players will wear black armbands, the FA added, and there will be a period of silence before kick off. Hamas killed over 1,300 people after gunmen from the Gaza Strip on Saturday rampaged through parts of southern Israel in the deadliest Palestinian militant attack in Israel’s history.

Ex-PSG boss Galtier takes job in Qatar

PARIS: Former Paris Saint-Germain coach Christopher Galtier has returned to management three months after leaving the French champions, taking over at Qatari side Al Duhail. Galtier, 57, won the Ligue 1 title with PSG but lasted just one season at the club after a poor second half of the campaign. The final weeks of his reign were marred by accusations of racism during his previous job at Nice. He has vehemently denied the accusations but will stand trial in December. At Al Duhail he will inherit a squad including former Liverpool and Barcelona playmaker Philippe Coutinho. Galtier succeeds Hernan Crespo after the club parted ways with the ex-Argentina international who won the league with Al Duhail last season. The Frenchman will face an Al Nassr side spearheaded by Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane in the Asian Champions League group stage later this month.

Juventus midfielder Fagioli faces investigation for illegal betting

ROME: Juventus midfielder Nicolo Fagioli is under investigation for alleged illegal betting activities, an Italian prosecutor said on Wednesday, confirming earlier press reports.

Turin is the home city of Juventus, the former Italian champions. “Our client is dealing with the matter responsibly, with a view to maximum transparency and collaboration with the ordinary and sporting judicial authorities,” Fagioli’s lawyers Luca Ferrari and Armando Simbari said in a joint statement. “Nicolo is calm and fully focused on Juventus and the (Italian Serie A) league,” they added. The newspaper did not say what kind of betting Fagioli was involved in.
