France's Alize Cornet To Attempt Surprise WTA Tour Comeback

French player Alize Cornet announced on Monday she will make a return to professional tennis less than a year after retiring from the sport. The 35-year-old, who holds the women's record for most consecutive Grand Slam appearances with 69, will play in a second-tier event in Spain which starts on March 31. Cornet will enter the main draw of a clay-court tournament in Rouen in April as a wildcard, before playing in qualifying for the Italian and Madrid Opens. "Even if it's only for a few tournaments, the desire to play and the excitement of competition are definitely there," Cornet said in an Instagram post.

Thomas Tuchel Relieved As 'Lucky' Jude Bellingham Avoids Red Card In Laboured England Win

Thomas Tuchel admitted Jude Bellingham was "lucky" to escape a red card as England "struggled" to secure a 3-0 win against minnows Latvia on Monday. Just two days after claiming Bellingham can be "very emotional" and needed to control his mood on the pitch, the Real Madrid star was fortunate not to be sent off in the World Cup qualifier at Wembley. After being booked in the first half, Bellingham avoided a second yellow yard despite crunching into a crude challenge on Raivis Jurkovskis soon after the interval. England boss Tuchel responded by sending on Phil Foden to replace the midfielder moments later to ensure he was not given his marching orders.

Chelsea Eye Permanent Jadon Sancho Deal Despite Cancel Clause: Reports

Chelsea are willing to sign Jadon Sancho on a permanent deal from Manchester United despite a £5 million ($6.4 million) clause that would allow them to cancel the deal, according to reports on Monday. Sancho moved to Chelsea on loan in August in a deal that reportedly included an obligation for Chelsea to buy the winger for £25 million. But after a promising start to life at Stamford Bridge, the 24-year-old's form has dipped and details have emerged of a way out for the west London club if they paid a cancellation fee. With just two goals in all competitions and none since December, Sancho has struggled to hold down a regular place in Enzo Maresca's side as they chase qualification for next season's Champions League.
