It's always good to build momentum, to get more consistent performances. We will try to build on that. We have a good opportunity against a Slavia Prague side who are very direct and physical, man-marking all over the pitch. That can particularly make it difficult for us. It is about us making sure we perform well, with forwardness and directness in attacking play.
A man has been arrested on suspicion of assault after a number of people were sprayed with what is believed to be pepper spray at a Heathrow Airport car park, police said. A group of people who knew each other were involved in an argument which escalated and resulted in people being injured, police said, with other suspects being searched for. Twenty-one people were treated for injuries with five of those taken to hospital. The Metropolitan Police said it was an isolated incident and was not being treated as terrorism or protest-related. Earlier in the day trains were delayed and the car park was closed due to the incident but it reopened by 11:30 GMT. Police and emergency services were called at 08:11 to the multi-storey car park at Terminal 3.
The acrimony between the team and Diggs really started to simmer when the team docked Diggs $5000,000 for rehabbing away from the team this offseason.

Now he is trying to return from a strange concussion injury at home that led to a stint on injured reserve.
Aston Villa's reward for their relentless persistence at Villa Park was a thrilling 2-1 win against the league leaders via a 95th-minute goal from substitute Emiliano Buendía which rattled this famous old stadium to its core. Villa manager Unai Emery jumped in delight. Gunners goalkeeper David Raya kicked the post in frustration. Villa's set-piece coach, Austin MacPhee, waved his crutches in the air in defiance like some sort of "Game of Thrones" re-enactment for outpatients.
Fresh after winning his first Ireland cap and impressing throughout last month, loosehead Paddy McCarthy (22) will make his Champions Cup debut alongside his older brother Joe (24), who returns for the first time this season following a foot injury. Expect fireworks with the siblings in the same starting team. Leinster are without injured Ireland trio Andrew Porter (arm), Robbie Henshaw (hamstring) and James Lowe (calf), which opens the door for the younger McCarthy, Ciarán Frawley and Jordan Larmour to impress.

Noah Brown has been seldom seen for the Commanders this season. The wide receiver suffered a knee injury at Washington's mandatory minicamp that never looked right. He made it back for the team's season opener, but lasted just two games before an ankle complication put him on the shelf. Brown tried to get back sooner than expected, but the lack of progress forced the Commanders to place him on injured reserve.
Bilal Coulibaly entered year three with the Washington Wizards with a whole lot to prove and not a lot of time to do it. As Washington continues to build towards the future, time is of the essence as the team looks to evaluate the roster and determine which players can contribute for the long haul. The sophomore leaps of Alex Sarr and Kyshawn George have been the lone encouraging signs for the Wizards to start the season,

He did undergo Tommy John surgery in May, so he won't be on the mound at the beginning of the season.
